The DMK today said that its alliance with the Congress is like "two bulls" of a bullock cart, suggesting thereby softening of its stand on the government's decision on fuel price hike.
"Two bulls taking the bullock cart in the right direction," DMK Leader in Rajya Sabha T Siva said referring to his party's alliance with Congress.
Siva was speaking in support of the Motion of Thanks to the president's address.
DMK chief M Karunanidhi was reported to have sent a letter to the prime minister opposing the fuel price hike.
As finance minister Pranab Mukherjee made changes in the customs and excise duties in the 2010-11 Budget, petrol price increased by Rs 2.71 a litre and diesel by Rs2.55 a litre.
Siva praised the UPA government for developments taking place in the country and said, "The US is scared of developments taking place in India."
He said the pessimism of the Opposition on India's growth story is out of place.
