CPI today demanded roll back of the hike in prices of petrol, diesel and unsubsidised LPG cylinders, saying it was unjustified.
"In the background of price rise of all essential commodities, this increase of prices in quick succession is quite unjustified. This will bring a big burden on the common people as the number of gas cylinder supplied to families is limited," the party Central Secretariat said in a statement.
It demanded a roll back of the hike in prices and asked the UPA government to issue notification that Aadhar Card is not essential for getting gas on subsidy as per the directive of the Supreme Court.
