[25.06.2011]An atrocious price increase
The govt. has launched another attack on the common people of the country. The prices of kerosene, diesel and LPG have been sharply increased. The price of diesel is raised by Rs.3/- and the prices of kerosene and LPG are raised by Rs.2/- and Rs.50/- respectively. The increase in the prices of diesel, kerosene and LPG is going to result in the price increase of all the essential commodities. This is turn, will further increase the inflation. This attack of the UPA govt. on the common man should be protested in all possible manners. BSNLEU severely condemns this atrocious price rise and demands that the same should be withdrawn.

More skeletons are tumbling out of the cup board of the UPA govt. led by Manmohan Singh. The latest case is the misuse of power by Central Minister Dayanidhi Maran.

It is reported that CBI has recorded the statement of Sivasankaran. The allegations against Dayanidhi Maran are serious in nature.
