Prices of petrol and diesel in AP are highest

Hyderabad: Opposition leader of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said on Thursday that petrol and diesel prices in Andhra Pradesh are the highest of all the states in the country and added that this would have series consequences on the people of the state.

After the Speaker Kodela Shivaprasad Rao rejected his party’s adjournment resolution on the hike of diesel and petrol price, the YSRCP chief demanded a discussion on the issue and demanded the Speaker to cancel the Zero Hour if needed for an illuminating talk.

YS Jagan said 31 percent plus Rs. 4 on petrol and 22.1 percent plus Rs. 4 on diesel are imposed in Andhra Pradesh. All this revenue is going to the government’s treasury, he reminded. The Opposition leader alleged that the diesel and petrol prices have been soaring just because of the ruling of TDP-led government in the state.
