"It is shocking that the rupee has crossed the 65 mark vis-a-vis US dollar. It tells all about macro economic policies of the UPA government," the chief minister told reporters here after the rupee tumbled to an all-time intra-day low of 65.72 per dollar during the day.
Stating that it was a matter of time before the prices of petrol, diesel and fertilisers went up, he said, "This is going to severely affect the common man by way of further price rise."
