Fuel price cut, all for political gain: BJP

B D Narayankar

New Delhi: Opposition BJP has slammed Congress-led government for reducing fuel prices in small doses aimed at drawing political mileage with Lok Sabha elections approaching.

The government last night cut petrol price by Rs 5 a litre and diesel by Rs 2 per litre, while the domestic LPG rate was also slashed by as much as Rs 25 per cylinder.

"The parity with the international crude oil prices have still not been attained, justice has not been done to the commonman," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.

The reduction comes on back of the Rs 5 a litre cut in petrol price and Rs 2 per litre cut in diesel price on December 6 last year.
