dieselPrices of petrol and diesel were hiked by state-owned oil companies after a gap of 19 days on Monday. For nearly three weeks Oil companies had kept rates unchanged despite an increase in the input cost. Now after 2 days of Karnataka assembly elections they have reverted to the daily revision of petrol and diesel.

Indian Oil Corp (IOC) Chairman Sanjiv Singh last week said that the state-owned firms were “temporarily moderating” prices to avoid sharp spikes and panic among consumers.

State-owned oil companies are estimated to have lost about Rs 500 crore as they absorbed higher cost resulting from the spike in international oil rates and fall in rupee against the US dollar.

In Delhi, price of petrol was hiked by 17 paise from Rs 74.63 to Rs 74.80 per litre while price of diesel was increased by 21 paise from Rs 65.93 to Rs 66.14 per litre.

Price of petrol is at a 56 month peak while prices of diesel have touched a record high.

According to the IOC website, prices of petrol and diesel in four metros on Monday are as follows:

The Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday said that he will not object if the Congress high command wants to appoint a Dalit as the new Karnataka CM but stated that the high command should not impose the decision.

Siddaramaiah in an interview to a Kannada TV said, if dalit CM is appointed without taking legislators into confidence, it will adversely impact governance owing to dissidence.

When asked if the party secures majority and wants to appoint a dalit as the CM, Siddaramaiah said: “I’ll tell them do it. I’m not against anybody.” While he left the decision to the high command, the chief minister told reporters that it will be difficult to impose any leader.

“The party will have to take opinion of the legislators and the high command has to agree to it,” Siddaramaiah said adding “I didn’t face any dissidence in my five-year term.”

Siddaramaiah said, he will restrict himself to Karnataka politics as the party will win more than 120 constituencies. “I hope I’ll be the CM again,” he stated.

The Congress leader while speaking to reporters in Chamundeshwari constituency said, “This will be my last election.” He ruled out contesting any polls in future but he asserted that “Till my last breath I’ll fight for social justice.”

The results of Karnataka Assembly elections will be declared on Tuesday.
