Fuel Price Hike: Politic gimmickry
Fuel Price Hike: Politic gimmickry
So, the price hike is now applied and petrol is now around 50 bucks a liter. It is now for a change more expensive than Pepsi which is essentially 95% plain water!
And interestingly, the drama is continuing at the center with everyone protesting against the price hike. And I am sure that the government would reduce the price by a rupee to please the protestors.
It is like how people sell cloths in a shop. You hike the price before revealing it to the customer and still sell it at a profit after the ‘so called bargaining’.
The point remains… I won’t enjoy driving my swift as much at 5 rupee a kilometer! 4.5 rupee was hard enough.

You guys need to see reality the oil is not produce by india.
so the price should reflect the real world price. Goverment can not support the diff. to rich people but really poor people are going to hurt more.

well they need to decrease the subsidies on kerosene and diesel. its all crap that it would affect the poor people.
rich people drive Mercedes Benz diesel cars and kerosene is used to adultrate petrol.
