'Centre did not consult DMK on diesel price hike'

DMK, a key ally of UPA, on Friday said it was not consulted by the Centre on the diesel price hike and insisted on its rollback.

If they had consulted (us), there would have been no need for me to issue a statement yesterday condemning the price hike," he said while replying to a question.

When asked about his party's stand in the backdrop of West Bengal chief Minister Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress' opposition to the diesel price hike, Karunanidhi said, "I don't know (how) to issue a threat".

Referring to his demand for convening the UPA coordination committee and asked what would be his party's key demand, he said, "To reduce diesel price."

Karunanidhi had yesterday described the diesel price hike as 'very high' and unexpected and sought immediate convening

of the UPA Coordination Committee to discuss the matter
