Ruling out any immediate hike in prices of LPG and kerosene, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today said the new government will continue with the policy of subsidising commonly used cooking fuels, reported PTI. "There will no increase in LPG and kerosene prices for now. We will continue with the extant pricing policy," he said here. Besides continuing to subsidise LPG and kerosene, the NDA government will also not disrupt the previous UPA government's policy of up to 50 paise a litre increase in diesel price every month, as per the media reports. "The (Narendra) Modi government has come to power riding on hopes of millions of poor and this government will work keeping their interest in mind," he said. The government heavily subsidises LPG and kerosene. LPG price was last hiked in Jun 2011 when it went up by a steep Rs 50 per 14.2-kg cylinder. Two subsequent increases totalling Rs 14 were on account of increase in commission paid to dealers, as per the reports in the media.
