Delhi vs. Karnataka: Why the Huge Price Gap?
Compared to the national capital, Delhi, fuel prices in Karnataka have skyrocketed. In Delhi, petrol costs ₹94.77, but in cities like Bengaluru and Raichur, it has touched ₹107.36. This means petrol and diesel have become much more expensive in our state than in Delhi!
So, Who Really Increased the Price?
The public is now asking the state government a direct question. Every time prices go up, the state government is quick to blame the Centre. But people are now asking: even after a ₹3 hike, petrol in Delhi is still under ₹95. So how has the price in our state crossed ₹107?
