Pawar backs PM on fuel price hike New Delhi, November 6 Agriculture Minister and NCP chief Sharad Pawar declared that there was no point in blaming the government for the hike because the prices were determined by international market fluctuations while N.C. Saxena, a member of the National Advisory Council, usually critical of the government, asserted that petrol prices would not add to inflationary pressures since only five per cent of the people in the country used the fuel. Pawar said his party would stick to the UPA. Asked to comment on the PM’s defence of deregulation, he quipped, “ the PM is an economist of international repute” and he himself was not a ‘super economist’ to comment on what the Prime Minister had said.
