Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday said petrol will be cheaper by at least ₹11.80 per litre in Rajasthan if the BJP is elected in the November 25 Assembly elections.
Addressing a poll event in the state capital, Jaipur, on Saturday, the Union Petroleum Minister said, “I am being asked what will change in the state if the BJP comes to power in Rajasthan. Firstly, I am confident that the BJP is on course to form the government here. And, once we come to power, we will work to bring the price of petrol in Rajasthan at par with the rest of the country (barring Opposition-ruled states). Petrol, in Rajasthan, will be cheaper by at least ₹11.80 per litre if we are elected.”
Mr. Puri alleged that the price of petrol in Rajasthan was the highest in the country because of the additional cess imposed by the Congress government in the State.
