Bengaluru, July 5: After Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy proposed a hike in fuel price while presenting the state budget, former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said it would not be a burden on the people.

He said, "For mobilization of resources a small increase has been made in sales tax of diesel and petrol in the Budget. It will not be a burden."

The Chief Minister has proposed to increase the rate of tax on petrol from the present 30% to 32% and diesel from 19% to 21%.

He said, "I propose to increase the rate of tax on petrol from the present 30% to 32% and diesel from 19% to 21%, so petrol price will be increased by Rs.1.14/litre and diesel by Rs 1.12/ litre."

This comes after fuel prices were hiked in Delhi for the first time in more than a month.

Earlier, the Opposition attacked the Centre when fuel prices shot up and reached four-year highs.
