Roll back the petrol price hike

The UPA Government is making the common man’s life more miserable by hiking the fuel prices. Presumably, there is nothing in the wallet of Manmohan Inc. to lower the misery of the common people.

The Union Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas and the oil companies are in an unholy nexus for quite long and the government’s stand on fuel price hike due to increase in international prices is untenable. The facts and figures of ‘losses of oil companies’ are unacceptable because they spent crores on advertisements. Petrol is an essential commodity that can be sold without any advertisement.

The government, therefore, should rollback the decision to hike the diesel, LPG and kerosene prices because it will result in increase in the prices of all essential commodities and public transport.
