Madhya Pradesh minister Mahendra Singh Sisodia on Sunday said that people should be practical and accept a little inflation when their income is also rising.
“The government cannot give everything for free,” the minister said at a press briefing in Indore. “This is where the government gets its revenue from. This is what drives all government schemes.”
Sisodia, a Bharatiya Janata Party leader, was responding to a question on rise in fuel prices.
Fuel prices were hiked for the sixth straight day on Monday, reported NDTV. The prices of petrol and diesel were increased by 35 paise per litre in Delhi. With this, petrol now costs Rs 109.69 in the national Capital, and diesel Rs 98.42.
In Mumbai, a litre of petrol now costs Rs 115.50, and diesel Rs 106.62 per litre.
