Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay criticizes a reported fuel price increase, calling it “unacceptable” and urging the Centre to roll back the hike. Multiple reports say Vijay argues that the higher fuel costs will ripple through the economy, raising transportation and production expenses and contributing to inflation. He also links the increase to a wider impact on household budgets, stating that poorer and middle-class families in the state are likely to be affected more severely. The chief minister’s comments frame the move as an avoidable burden on residents and a policy decision that should be reconsidered. While the reports focus on Vijay’s reaction and concerns about inflation and affordability, they do not provide additional details on the specific rate, the decision-making authority, or a timeline for any potential rollback. The Centre’s response or any official follow-up action is not reported in the provided sources.
