Meanwhile, to a separate query, Joshi said that the Congress-led UPA government should clear its policy that what measures it was taking to bring economy back on the track. "Decreasing jobs, rising inflation, increasing export-import imbalance and declining revenue are some burning questions. The government should clear its policy and tell what measures it is taking to bring the economy back on the track," Joshi told reporters here. He alleged that the Centre hiked the fuel prices before the budget session, commencing from February 21, in a bid to "cover-up" the revenue losses. "The government intends to make some more hike in the budget. It is clear thereby that hike was intended to cover up the revenue losses to improve the economic situation," he said.
