New Delhi: The CPI (M) on Friday condemned the "massive" hike in petrol and diesel prices by the government saying the decision will impose an "unprecedented burden" on the working people.
The party urged the people to protest against the "latest imposition of burden" on their livelihood.
"The Polit Buro strongly condemns the massive hike in the prices of petrol and diesel announced by the Modi government.
"This will lead to the cascading of the inflationary spiral imposing unprecedented burden on the working people, once again in a big way," the party said in a statement.
