New Delhi: Delhi's Chief Minister-designate Arvind Kejriwal has indicated that he will go for auto fare hike if roll back in CNG price is not feasible.
"Give me two days, we will see if the CNG price hike can be rolled back. We will talk to the central government. If it is necessary to raise the prices and it cannot be rolled back, auto fares will have to be revised," Kejriwal told reporters Friday.
Prices of compressed natural gas (CNG), which is used in auto rickshaws and buses, was hiked by nearly 10 percent Thursday midnight, raising it to Rs.50.10 per kg, a hike of Rs.4.50 a kg.
Kejriwal added that he would talk to the auto drivers and address their concerns.
"We will talk to the auto rivers. They have many issues which will be addressed," he said.
