BJP MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy criticized opposition parties for their inconsistent stance on fuel price hikes, labeling them as 'disorganised and confused.' He asserted that India's petrol price increase is minimal compared to countries like the USA, UK, and neighboring nations such as Bangladesh and Pakistan. Reddy's comments came in response to Congress leader Mallu Ravi's claims of sharp price rises. Meanwhile, former Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) Director Raj Kumar Dubey warned that further retail fuel price hikes may be unavoidable if global energy disruptions persist. He presented three options for policymakers: increasing prices, absorbing losses by petroleum companies, or government deficit financing. Dubey emphasized that India's supply security has been enhanced through diplomatic efforts and diversification of oil sources, despite geopolitical tensions affecting global energy markets.
