Last week, chief minister Manohar Parrikar had announced in the assembly that petrol price will increase by 2 and diesel by 1. Since April 2012, petrol in Goa was the cheapest in the country, less by around 11 per litre. It was an election promise made by the BJP included in the party election manifesto for the March 2012 assembly polls. On taking over the reins of the state, Parrikar had reduced VAT on petrol to nearly zero. This had come into effect from the beginning of the financial year 2012-13.
