Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has slammed the Union government for its liberalisation policies, which, he said, have led to uncontrolled rise in fuel prices, leaving consumer States like Kerala to grapple with a general price rise too.
In a statement here, he said that the government's withdrawal from all social sectors in the aftermath of globalisation, the policy of giving a free hand to oil companies to decide fuel prices and allowing private petroleum companies into the sector have set in motion a process which is spiralling into a crisis.
