Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Saturday said petrol will be cheaper by at least Rs 11.80 per litre in Rajasthan if the BJP wins the November 25 Assembly elections.
“I am being asked what will change in the state if the BJP comes to power in Rajasthan. Firstly, I am confident that the BJP is on course to form the government here. And, once we come to power, we will work to to bring the price of petrol in Rajasthan at par with the rest of the country (barring Opposition-ruled states). Petrol, in Rajasthan, will be cheaper by at least Rs 11.80 per litre if we are elected,” Puri said while addressing an election rally in Jaipur.
Hitting back at Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot over his statement that the Centre was imposing more taxes on petrol and diesel, Puri said the former should look into affairs in his own state first.
The counting of votes for the Rajasthan Assembly will be held on December 3.
