Jayalalithaa on Sunday said people who expected progress with the change of government at the Centre are disappointed after the 50 paise hike in diesel prices.In a statement here, Jayalalithaa urged the central government to withdraw the diesel price raise, saying it will have an inflationary effect.She also urged the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government to not follow the wrong economic policies of the erstwhile Congress-led government.According to her, the oil pricing mechanism should be changed by factoring the cost of crude - both imported and domestically explored - and its refining costs.She said if this method is followed, the prices of petroleum products would come down and inflation would be contained.IANS
