Mysore/Mysuru: Strongly defending the recent hike in petrol and diesel prices by the State Government, Congress Spokesperson M. Lakshmana said that the price hike was a corrective measure and that the Opposition BJP and JD(S) were spreading lies about the hike.
Addressing a press meet at Congress Bhavan near the City Railway Station here yesterday, Lakshmana, who unsuccessfully contested as the Congress candidate from Mysuru-Kodagu Constituency in the recently held 2024 Lok Sabha polls, asserted that the fuel price hike is not an increase but a corrective measure for the mistake of the previous BJP Government led by Basavaraj Bommai.
