BJP leader Nitin Gadkari crucial Comments on Petrol Price

New Delhi, May 24: Union Minister and senior BJP leader Nitin Gadkari has made crucial comments ahead of increasing the Petrol prices in the Country.

While speaking with the media persons, he said that subsidizing petrol and diesel to bring down their rising retail prices will take money away from social welfare schemes of the government and that increase in oil prices is "unavoidable" since India is now linked to the global economy.

We all knew that, With fears of fuel prices reaching the Rs 100-per-litre mark in the coming weeks, the opposition has flayed the government for minting money while the common man suffers. There have been protests across the country with people at large demanding immediate relief from the ever-increasing prices.

Gadkari added that, "This is an unavoidable, economic situation. It is directly linked to the global economy. If we have to sell it (petrol/diesel) cheap, it means we will have to buy it at higher prices and subsidise it here."
