The UPA gets hit ‘Left’, Right and Centre.

So, as all of you know/should know - the prices of fuel have gone up. Petrol prices by five rupees and diesel prices by three rupees per litre. Our now-very-famous UPA government doesn’t stop here, LPG prices have gone up by fifty bucks a cylinder. The Left called the UPA a not very directional government, and other ‘names’ after the price hike. However, the puppet who happens to be our Prime Minister, defended the fuel price hike and said that the hike is due to the soaring rate of food and crude oil. He also told the people that the Government is bearing 90% of the loss, and only 10% of it is being born by the people. And then the people truly supported his decision and said there should be a more price hike in the fuel, yeah right. -_-

What the puppet doesn’t get is, is that the government happens to be a huge body with lots of money with it. And also, that with this, the transportation cost will increase, with that, the basic needs of a person like the “roti” will also increase (For the Youngistaanies : ice-cream prices will go up again!) He probably gets that, he is supposedly qualified.

Also the inflation will reach around 9.5-10% for the next few weeks, which means, more price increase in everything, mostly and probably a huge jump in edible items.

The price of petrol was gonna be hiked by sixteen rupees earlier, but then they decided against it, because they care for the common man so much. The customs on crude oil have been cut quite drastically to make the hike as small as possible, says the Government.

This time, I blame the U.S.A., because they use too much of fuel and hence we have to pay more for it! How unfair is that, and no, I am not the next George Bush of India.

I guess the people who are getting married now ask for lifetime supply of petrol instead of a car as dowry. Because you can get a car for one hundred thousand rupees. But petrol is like “OMG-expensive.”

So what will the common man do, now? He’ll probably get a CNG kit installed in his car, as CNG is quite cheap - like 21 bucks a kilo. Plus I guess, CNG is a cleaner fuel than petrol. Most of the new Maruti cars already come with CNG pre-installed in them. Obviously no “rich” person will buy a Maruti, and no BMW owner is gonna get CNG installed in their car. But they are not the common man, they are the elite group of people.

So go ahead and install those CNG kits in your car! And make this world a cleaner place to live in!
