Kolkata: UPA ally Trinamool Congress on Thursday night expressed unhappiness over the petrol price hike and said the party has called an emergency meeting of its parliamentary party on Friday to discuss the issue.
"We are unhappy over the hike of petrol price," Trinamool Congress General Secretary Mukul Roy said.
Roy said an emergency meeting of the Trinamool Congress parliamentary party has been called on Friday to discuss the issue.
Asked whether there was any possibility of Trinamool Congress quitting the Union ministry or withdrawing support to the UPA government in protest against the hike, Roy said, "How can I say this...I am not going to say anything more except that we are unhappy over the decision."
Oil companies on Thursday hiked petrol prices by Rs 1.80 per litre to offset the fall in rupee that has made imports of crude costlier.
