Mon Apr 07 17:02:58 UTC 2025: ## Stalin Condemns BJP’s Fuel Price Hike, Demands Rollback
**Chennai, April 7, 2025** – Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin sharply criticized the BJP-led central government today for recent increases in LPG prices and excise duties on petrol and diesel. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he accused the government of inflicting hardship on citizens, stating that the situation calls for a rollback of the price hikes.
Mr. Stalin highlighted the global decline in crude oil prices, arguing that the government’s actions are particularly egregious given this context. He accused the BJP of engaging in a predictable pattern of price increases followed by partial reductions before elections, a tactic he said the public has grown accustomed to. He urged the Union government to immediately reverse the price hikes without waiting for upcoming elections. He described the BJP government’s actions as “sadist.”
