In the backdrop of the decision taken by the Man Mohan Singh Government to increase the fuel price the oppositions parties have called for Bharat bandh on Monday, 5th July.
The parties supporting the Bandh are Left Parties, NDA alliance.
Supporting the Bandh, BJP Leader Manohar Parrikar said,
“In 2008, the crude oil was 140 dollars per barrel. Currently the price is between 70-75 dollars per barrel. Crude oil cost us Rs. 17 per litre.”
The Panaji MLA, Manohar Parrikar , also said
“The cost of refining is between Rs 7-10 Per liter. Add Rs 10 as a tax so the cost of petrol should be around 33 Rs. However we are charged Rs. 53 for the same. That is a profit of Rs.20.”
Shiv Sena has declared its support for the bandh. Samajwadi Party is likely to support the bandh on July 5.
Meanwhile the ruling part of Uttar Pradesh, BSP, has decided to call a strike on July 6.
The RJD-LJP alliance is planning to protest across Bihar on July 10.
