Unjust hike- The Telegraph

The United Progressive Alliance government has made the common man’s life more miserable by raising fuel prices. The increase in the prices of petrol, diesel, kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas will result in the costs of essential commodities spiralling further. The government should keep in mind that it had already raised petrol and diesel prices in February, at the time of the Union budget. It seems that the Manmohan Singh government cannot do much to lessen the misery of the aam aadmi. Its policies are pushing the people deeper into penury. The government’s decision to free fuel prices from State regulation is just an excuse to cover up for its failure to control the fiscal deficit. The government must reconsider the price hike.
