Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Monday blamed the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government for the increase in prices of essential commodities and said the common man was the worst-affected.
Firing another arrow at the Central government, the Chief Minister said the fact that the rate of inflation had gone up to 5.11 per cent was indicative of the Centre’s failure to arrest the galloping prices.
Ms. Mayawati said the State government was making all possible efforts to check the prices.
The Chief Minister said the increase in the the prices of petrol by Rs.2 a litre and of diesel by Rs.1 a litre had resulted in the increase in transportation cost.
