Not quitting over this petrol price hike, will do if there's a next time, warns Mamata

A little after her MPs had emerged from an hour-long meeting with the Prime Minister in Delhi, Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee said in Kolkata, "If there is another hike in price of petrol or petroleum products, we will pull out of the government." The current crisis in the UPA, brought on by Ms Banerjee's threat of last week that she would quit the UPA government on the recent rise in petrol prices, seems to have been averted.
