BJP today termed the hike in petrol price as a 'betrayal' with the people as it came a day after presentation of the union budget and demanded its immediate rollback. 

"Finance Minister P Chidambaram presented the budget yesterday in Parliament and government decided a day later to hike the prices of petrol by Rs 1.40 per litre. This is a betrayal with the people of the country and BJP will not take this lying down," party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters.

His colleague and spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said, "This is a betrayal with the people. We demand its immediate rollback."
