Hyderabad: Petrol and diesel prices in India rose for the eleventh consecutive day on Saturday, leading the fuel to be costlier than ever. Fuel rates are on an upward spiral, hitting record highs across metros, while they have already crossed the Rs 100 mark in some cities.
While the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the large majority of people supporting it remain strangely silent about the fuel prices hike, opposition parties including Congress and Shiv Shena are coming down heavily on the government for its non-intervention. All this and even Bollywood is dragged into the row, for its political inclination.
