Parliament May Be Stalled If Petrol Hike Not Withdrawn : BJP

Demanding an immediate roll back of petrol price hike, BJP today made a veiled threat of stalling Parliament during the winter session if Government fails to do so.

The main opposition also hit out at the UPA allies, saying they were “part and parcel” of the hike. The comments come at a time when Mamta Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress has sought an appointment with the Prime Minister tomorrow to convey its unhappiness over the hike.

“If the government wants the upcoming session to run smoothly they must roll back the prices immediately... What we demand, what the people of this country demand is to roll back the petrol hike because there is no justification,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.
