The Chief Minister, Ms Sheila Dikshit, on Friday indicated that her government may provide some relief to Delhiites from the hike in petrol prices.
“Wait till Monday for my budget,” Ms Dikshit, who also handles Finance portfolio, told reporters when asked whether her government was planning to provide some relief to people from petrol price hike.
Ms Dikshit had last night indicated that Delhi government may consider cutting taxes on petrol to provide some relief from the hike in fuel price.
“We will see what we can do,” she had told reporters in Jammu yesterday.
In the steepest-ever increase, petrol price have been increased by Rs 7.50 a litre.
The Chief Minister, however, justified the steep hike saying oil companies were incurring huge losses and the hike was necessary.
