hike in price...congress' fault??...

couldn't stop laughing when this person on tv said this....and that bjp should come to power....

it was funny...but more than i was surprised to hear how ignorant these people are of whats happening around the world....why don't they think about it rather than getting influenced by these small-time politicians as well as the bigger ones....its not as if the gov't was getting bored...and didn't have enough black money...so they decided to hike the prices...why doesn't the aam janta realize that it is happening around the world

in the past couple of months...our (canadian) gas prices have gone up like anything...same with the states....but we don't come out on the streets and start protesting or say anything like if liberal was in power this wouldn't have happened....we know that there is nothing our government can really do...otherwise they will lose money...if prices of something are going up around the world...should we really blame our gov't (well leaving aside the obvious one 😛)

Justified price hike or not is immaterial and irrelevant since the opposition is oblivious of, and in total denial of the world commodities market and are behaving as illiterate idiots. I wish someone would pay attention to the plight of the animals being used by the BJP and other opposition parties in the protest against the gasoline price hikes.

The animals being used to pull carts are clearly in distress …they are being shown on the Indian News Channels, totally disoriented and foaming at the mouth. What is wrong with the frigging overweight, fat, obese politicians of India that are piling on the carts that these poor animals are being foced to tote? Maybe these fat politicians should be harnessed to pull the same carts they are forcing the animals to in that heat of Delhi. Where is Menaka Gandhi when the animals really need her????😡 😡

Nice topic Aam👏 uff Mango !

It is very tough to make some one understand about inflation, sensex, bulls , index points..international crude oil prices when the palak, mirchi and oil prices in their gully(street) shop increase terribilly.....it is even very tough to understand the increase in the price of dal,chawal and basic stuff terribilly...In the present context it is very tough for a lower middle class person to read daily dose of food. This condition is making them hungry and you know Mango ji ! A HUNGRY MAN IS AN ANGRY MAN😆

Government has to take some measures to bring the prices of basic essential commodiites down.

Cheers,

You completely misunderstood whats been happening in India. You are not to be blamed as you are completely unaware.

Government shall be blamed for following reasons:

1. Everyone knew that the prices are gonna soar too high. Government did not take any measures to find the oil or gas sources in India or find an alternative energy source.

2. The taxes on oil products are one amongst highest in India. They are around 35% of the prices even after marginal reduction. Now consider that Petrol was costing Rs. 34 and 35% of that i.e. Rs. 11 per litre goes to government, they increased price to Rs. 52 so 35% comes to Rs. 20/-. Now the government can afford to give Rs. 6-7 as subsidy. But they are not reducing the taxes.

3. The previous increase in rates was when crude was at USD 70, later government did not even take any steps to help the oil companies against rising prices.

4. We are big economies and we must put pressure on OPEC countries to be in their limits. They cant just reap money from us and buy car number plates for millions of dollars

However I dont think there would have been big difference with BJP, except that they had called for investment in oil exploration and buying out oil fields in other countries😃
