NEW DELHI
June 4: Criticising the UPA government for hiking the prices of petroleum
products, National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies Janata Dal (United) and
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) said the hike will hit the common man hard.
General secretary of JD(U) Javed Raza said the common man is already under
tremendous pressure due to rise in the prices of essential commodities.
The fuel price hike, he said will add to his burden.
Mr Raza alleged that it was a hidden agenda of the UPA government to hike the
prices in general.
This should be condemned by all as the situation has gone from bad to worse.
This government has no right to continue as it has failed on all fronts, Mr
raza said.

June 4: The Congress is assessing how the fuel price hike will affect it
politically. While a section feels that the Opposition and the Left may not
launch an agitation because of the ground reality which compelled the government
to increase the prices, party seniors are worried about the overall price rise.
