Consumers should get products at rational price, says Pradhan

Amid the hike in prices of petrol and diesel, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday appealed that the consumers should get the products at a rational price.

"I appeal to the GST council that these products be included in the GST framework. Consumers should get the products at a rational price in the entire country," Pradhan told ANI.

The public has blamed and urged the Central government to come up with a plan to tackle the problem of ever-rising fuel prices.

For the unversed, petrol is being sold in Delhi for Rs 73.83/litre and diesel at a record price of Rs 64.69 a liter.
