Mangaluru, Feb 10: Congress leader and minister UT Khader has slammed Narendra Modi government over the issue of rising prices, anti-poor policies and broken promises.

Addressing media persons on Tuesday, the health and family welfare minister of Karnataka said that petrol in India could sold for Rs 30 per litre in the wake of the fall in international crude price.

Accusing the government of not passing on the benefits to the consumers, Mr Khader said that the comparative prices of crude over the years show that petrol prices are more than double of what they should be.

He said when the price of crude oil was $147 in December 2008 and the value of rupee was 42 against one US dollar, the price of petrol was Rs 64 per litre.

“The centre is not letting the consumers benefit from the fall in international prices,” he lamented.
