The government's decision to hike diesel price by Rs 5 has shocked the nation.
The government is committing a "gigantic fraud" on the Indian people and the hike will have a cascading inflationary impact imposing greater burden on the already suffering people, the CPI(M) Polit Bureau said.
The hike will have a cascading effect on the prices of the food grains due to increase in transportation costs.
The price of petrol and diesel in various states in India varies due to the differing rates of Value Added Tax (VAT) levied across states.
