Tamil Nadu BJP chief slams CM MK Stalin for criticising PM Modi on fuel price issue

Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai on Thursday took strong exception to Chief Minister M K Stalin’s criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagging higher fuel prices in many Opposition-ruled States and demanded him to honour his poll commitment on reducing the prices.

It has been nearly a year since Stalin became the Chief Minister but he was yet to fulfil his poll promise of reducing the prices of per litre of petrol and diesel by Rs 5 and Rs 4 respectively, he said. “Without promising anything the Central government slashed the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 10 and Rs 4 respectively. But you are yet to honour your poll promise,” Annamalai said in a statement here.
