New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government decided to cut down fuel prices by Rs 2.50, ignoring the rising prices of crude oil in the international markets. 

Petrol and diesel prices surged up to 23 paise on Thursday. While petrol has touched Rs 84 per litre in Delhi, diesel prices were pushed a little further to Rs 75.45 per litre. In Mumbai, diesel crossed the Rs 80 mark for the first time, recording a 21 paise rise from the previous hike. Petrol is already being sold at over Rs 92 per litre in several districts of Maharashtra as well as Bihar.

The Shiv Sena on Friday said that the reduction in fuel prices had come "too late", and claimed that the Centre had mopped up Rs 1 lakh crore per day when the rates of petrol and diesel were being increased daily.

It also slammed Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for his reported remark that he was "ready to mortgage the state in Dr B R Ambedkar's service".
