This decision of increasing the price rise of diesel by Rs.5 will have a disastrous impact on their daily life," said Bose in a statement.
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal criticised the Centre for the "unwarranted and steep" increase in price of diesel and demanded an immediate and complete withdrawal of this hike. In a statement , Badal said the hike of Rs.5 in price of diesel was absolutely "unrealistic and arbitrary."

Samajwadi Party announced that it would hold a sit-in against the move across the state. "The move to hike diesel price is anti-people and will increase prices. Samajwadi Party opposes the move and will hold sit-in across the state to protest the hike," SP spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said.
The NCP has demanded a rollback saying the change will further burden on the common man. "The Centre should consider rollback in diesel price and should not put a cap on subsidised LPG especially given the high price of essential goods thereby affecting the common man," NCP spokesperson Nawab Malik said.
The CPI termed as "disastrous" the decision to hike diesel prices by Rs. five per litre and restrict supply of subsidised cooking gas to six cylinders per household in a year.
