Describing the hike in diesel prices as a cruel joke and mortal blow on the common man and farmers, BJP today accused the government of conspiring with petrol mafia and said it will not allow the hike and take to the streets instead. This is a cruel joke on the common man in the country. It has hit farmers hard during the peak paddy sowing season. We will not allow this hike. We will not allow this government to loot the common man like this, BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said. The way this government is increasing prices of petrol, diesel and LPG despite a reduction in international crude prices, it is a clear-cut case of a conspiracy with the petroleum mafia, Naqvi said. BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said the hike will have a cascading effect on prices and will contribute further to inflation. Another BJP leader Ananth Kumar said, we strongly protest against the steep hike and condemn it. There is a fire against corruption raging across the country and government has poured dieselover it. It will have a cascading effect on inflation and price rise. It will hit the common man, farmers and the labourers. profit.ndtv/news/economy/article-govt-conspiring-with-petrol-mafia-bjp-on-diesel-price-hike-310788
