Patna, May 26 : Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today demanded that the Centre immediately roll back the hike of Rs 7.50 per litre of petrol.
Kumar told reporters that the Centre had once again imposed additional burden on the common man, already affected by skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.
“The state government does not have any extra room for consideration in order to bring down the petrol price. Whatever has to be done, it has to be done by the Centre and it is a matter of fact that there is quite low consumption of petrol in Bihar”, he said.
He also castigated the Centre for allegedly unleashing an atmosphere of anarchy and chaos with increasing inflation and the value of Rupee deteriorating in comparison to Dollar, he said.
