MARGAO: Stating that the insensitive BJP government is now continuing to push the common man under huge financial burdens by rapidly increasing the petrol, diesel and gas prices, Cuncolim MLA and General Secretary of Congress Yuri Alemao on Friday urged Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant to show humane approach towards Goans and reduce the Value-Added Tax (VAT) to cap the petrol and diesel prices at Rs 80 per litre.
He also said it is shocking that the BJP government increased the LPG cylinder prices by Rs 50 and the petrol and diesel prices were hiked for the third time in the last four days.
“The Chief Minister must keep in mind that the newly elected Congress MLAs are young and energetic. We warn the government not to play with the sentiments and emotions of the people. We will strongly raise our voice in the upcoming Assembly Session,” he said.
