Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister and UPA ally Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday hit out at the government over the sharpest ever petrol price hike of Rs 7.50 per litre, calling it a burden on the common man.
"I have come to know about the hike, it is unfortunate…we got to know from the press, I don't think such hike is good, it is painful for people," said the Trinamool Congress chief.
Accusing the Centre of economic mismanagement, Mamata pointed that prices were being raised despite the international crude prices being down.
"I am with people, I am worried about the economic system and there is mismanagement. We need to plan properly," she said.
The West Bengal Chief Minister also expressed her anger saying that her party had no role in the move. She said, "No one discussed it with us, no important issues are discussed with us."
However, she reiterated that she was not walking out of the government, though she said that her party would continue to protest while remaining in the government.
