Swapnil Pande, an executive who works at a leading luxury automobile brand in Nagpur, told Nation Next, What will touch Rs100 first – US dollar against Indian rupee or the fuel prices in India? It’s getting extremely challenging for middle class people to make their ends meet with such sky rocketed fuel prices. They have to think twice before commuting. Moreover, mileage is also a huge issue for people. Unfortunately, car-pooling unlike in metros isn’t much practiced in Nagpur. No matter what the BJP government is doing to reduce the price hike, the rates aren’t going to reduce drastically and heavily.  Sadly, people are bearing the brunt!

The BJP, while speaking about the increased fuel prices, termed the hike in petroleum products as a momentary difficulty? that resulted due to an international crisis. The BJP also said that the prices skyrocketed further after the Opposition parties in India observed a Bharat Bandh on Wednesday to protest the skyrocketing fuel prices.
