UPA ally NCP has come out in support of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee's decision to hike fuel prices in this year's budget. NCP chief and Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar said his party will not take any decision that will affect the stability of the government. He said that his party will also explain to other colleagues who have different views and try to convince them about the larger national interest. Pawar said the government has to raise resources to fulfil the promises made to the people.Earlier, UPA allies Trinamool Congress and DMK had demanded the roll back in petroleum prices. The Trinamool had taken out rallies in Kolkata yesterday to protest the fuel price hike. Its chief Mmata Banerjee has written to to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi to reconsider the hike in fuel parices. Similar letter has been shot by DMK leader Karunanidhi.
