Mamata reacts
Miss Mamata Banerjee, Trinamul Congress chief today alleged that UPA has increased the price of petroleum products many times more than the NDA had, and dismissed the CPI-M's charge that she was silent when the NDA government took the harsh measure. She recalled she had tendered her resignation in protest in 2001 when the NDA government tried to raise the price of cooking gas by Rs 20. "This forced the NDA government to roll back and the increased price was Rs 10.'
