Amid petrol and diesel prices scaling new highs on daily basis, BJP president Amit Shah Monday met Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, sources with direct knowledge of the meeting said. It was not immediately clear what transpired at the meeting, which took place at the BJP headquarters in the national capital.
While Pradhan was not reachable for comments, sources said assembly elections in Odisha and spiralling fuel prices may have topics of discussions between the two leaders. Assembly elections are due in Odisha in 2019. Pradhan, who had at the time of the previous rally in May spoken about a long-term solution to price volatility in works, on Saturday blamed the current spike to global factors.
