Delhi to pay more for Diesel?

Posted on by

More crapness from the folks who are supposed to represent us in the government. The Delhi government decides to put another cess on people owning Diesel vehicles. Apparently, they would now have to pay a bit more for the fuel in their cars.

The only relevant information I could find in papers was that the government expects to generate around Rs. 48 crores from this new cess.

Nothing is mentioned on what they would do with this ‘extra’ money they would get from ‘yet’ another meaningless cess on the common man. How would this money help in conserving the nature?

Would charging more for the fuel result in people not buying diesel cars any more? From what I see diesel cars today are much cleaner and efficient. And if they conform to the standards set by the government itself, it should be illegal for the government to implement this new cess.

and how do they plan to clean the environment?

do they lack funds to do that already?

what would they do? plant more trees? they have failed to clean the yamuna river for so many years. do you expect them to do something about this?

it's the government which is responsible for the shitty quality of fuel we get. it's the government which is responsible for shitty roads we get... why do not they fix the mess they created in the first place first?

Dude, they would use the money for cleaning the environment! It's written in the newspapers! Their aim is not stopping people from buying diesel, but to generate funds. They thought that Diesel would be the most appropriate item to levy this tax as it is currently a large cause of air pollution, and it's prices are within government control.
