New Delhi, May 27 (IANS): Domestic petrol prices increased for the 14th consecutive day on Sunday, with the key transportation fuel being sold at Rs 78.12 per litre in the national capital.

According to the data from oil marketing major IndianOil, petrol price rose to Rs 78.12 in Delhi from Rs 77.97 a litre on Saturday.

Along with Delhi, prices in Mumbai and Chennai have already reached record levels. In Mumbai and Chennai, petrol was sold at Rs 85.93 and Rs 81.11 a litre, respectively, up from Rs 85.78 and Rs 80.95 per litre on Saturday.

In addition, price in Kolkata inched up to Rs 80.76, against 80.61 per litre on the previous day.

The surge in petrol prices is largely attributed to the recent rise in crude oil cost and the high excise duty levied on the particular fuel type in the country.

    PM Modi government may be inspired by 'Indian Premier League', now wanted to take the petroleum prices to 'century' which no other government in the past 70 years ruling did despite economic hardship.

    In last four years Modi government collected 10 lakh crores in taxes from petroleum when the crude is dive to the lowest.

    Now one year to remain for Lok Sabha elections additional taxes to cover elections for BJP campaign through its corporate oil companies?

    Where do you get dal at Rs. 60-70!?. Just yesterday I brought it and paid Rs. 80 per half kg!. I think you are referring to imported dal from China which is available at that price!. China dal is not at all nutritious and tasty like India variety!.

    This Govt has no control on any issue be it petrol, corruption, farmers Distress, Employment for youth and the list is unending. The central Govt and the state Govts and all their Ministers are always in election made and Governance has been put on Auto Pilto mode and our beloved country is drifting aimlessly.

    The Modi Sarkar is a big failure and a disaster for our country.
