AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal attacked the BJP, saying the Centre was “fooling” the public by claiming that that they had brought down the fuel prices.
“In June last year, crude oil prices were USD 115 a barrel in international market and that has gone down up to USD 47 a barrel. Hence, ideally petrol’s price should have been Rs 35 per litre, but it is still being sold at Rs 60 per litre,” Kejriwal claimed. “Had the prices of diesel and petrol been brought down accordingly, then there would not have been skyrocketing prices of common commodities that have riddled the life of a common man. Prices of fruits, vegetables would have come down,” he said during his election rallies in Palam and R K Puram areas.— PTI
