"This petrol price hike is another blow to the common man, who is already hard pressed due to the anti-people policies of the Congress-led UPA. It will put further inflationary pressure and push prices," INLD chief and former chief minister Om Prakash Chautala said.
He said the life of the common man will become more difficult and miserable and added that the INLD will strongly protest against the hike to force the government to roll back its decision.
