Should we increase the Price?

Yes, they are unable check the price hike and blaming other things to save themselves. Petrol prices were increased by more than Rs. 3 on September 15, 2011, and now again. One side they are unable to do anything and on the other side, they are promising for a good future....I see no future under their control. They have failed.

Promises are made to break! and that will suit our Govt.'s statement. Really, there is no hope for a better tomorrow. One day it will be Rs.100/- and rightly commented by you, Ghee will be cheaper.

Really, I mean it... Ghee will be cheaper than Petrol as we do not have "a taste" for dairy animals, especially cows and buffaloes... And Government will remain the same... And petroleum companies are out of Government's control on the issue of "Petrol Price." So, the rates will be very much labile towards "profit making".... Government who is unable to bring back India's "Black Money," which itself is in many many million dollars' worth...The Government who is unable to solve the problem of corruption prevailing in the corridors of system at each and every level... (The Government)...has no objection in increasing the price, rather they are asking whether we should increase it or not?!!! A responded from Petroleum Company/ies even said (hope you have seen on TV, some Mr. Batala or something) when asked about petrol price issue as, "We can take back the "petrol price hike" if government says us." But our hypo-conversational Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "No" in a clear voice.....gurrr.....(need emoticons) If taxes are removed, it will be sold @ RS 40-INR per liter in Delhi and Rs 42, 43, up to Rs. 45 in other parts of India. But, You Know Viju, as I said, [b]WHO CARES! ....(need emoticons) . .

Hi Sidhu The 20 year long coalition Government has done enough damage to the common man and economy. (Though they could have lead the ruling party in a progressive way, the coalition parties have used the ruling party only for their self motives.) But, the petrol price hike, I think we can't blame the Government alone.

I read in today's newspaper - the taxes are 46.00 per litre and that goes NOT for anyone's development but for the Foreign Trips, Security and other PERKS to the Ministers

Oh Sid, don't say this... We (people) have to do something about our government system one day... It is right that they are burning our hard earned money in their leisure activities, but it is also a fact that they are there because of us only...

Yes, they are not giving subsidy for alternate energy, but they can't give unless they stop the subsidy they currently give to gas. (Yes, Government is subsidising the domestic gas supply.) And, in the current situation, they will face a tough criticism from the public if they stop it. The solar energy equipments need sufficient space too, that's a main drawback where people live in a group of small huts. (Previously there was an attempt for promoting Bio-gas equipments, but that too required a large open space.) But, Government can attempt to use solar energy in Public offices and other areas. Though the cost may be the same, but at least it can help reduce the import of crude oil.

Well said, but they are not giving proper subsidy on alternate energy resources. At present, solar equipments are not in the reach of middle class. Even solar water heater costs very high and in such situations, people cannot think about using solar energy for household equipments.

During the last 3 years it has increaded by about Rs. 30/- here and that is a substantial growth ... See, the government is quite environment friendly as it doesnt want anyone in the country to use the Petrol... but a mere increase of 10/- per year... that doesnt help the purpose... maybe thay should make it - 10/- per day and soon many of the vehicles will go off-road and that will ensure safety on Road and also stop some Pollution

Hi Zralte, By the time I am commenting on your response, they have decreased the price by 84 paisa in Jaipur. But, it has always happened in the past...first they will increase by a good amount in rupees and then will decrease by some paisa. You have rightly said, for them common men is stupid drum. @Sid, well said buddy! They want us all to go green...throw our vehicle and purchase new hybrid vehicles running on batteries so that they can earn from those companies also...in the same manner as they have decided to replace all the number plates....

Well said Tiwari Ji. The same think just happened in case of foreign wholesale/retailers, first they fill their pockets with bribes and now they are hiding their face...seeking a way to get out of it... In a sense, it looks like poor people make government for rich people...

Since we have voted them and given them that responsibility, we have to bear the consequences... Actually, people learn from experiences, especially the bad experiences... So, it is high time for you all to learn from mistakes and do not vote them in future...

Shibam, if somehow taxes are removed, it will be 42 INR at your place, BUT WHO CARES!

Yes, for sure one day Petrol will be costlier than Ghee. You now, if taxes are removed then petrol will be only Rs. 40 per liter in Delhi and about Rs. 44 per liter at your place. But who care about removing taxes. They have to collect tax from us at all conditions...in terms of income tax, service tax, VAT, and much more... We are the payers of all kind of taxes....Government is receiver of all kind of profits. They are unable to bring black money in India from Swiss Bank. They are unable to decrease the rate of corruption in our country. They are unable to decrease the fiscal rate.... BUT YES, THEY ARE VERY ABLE TO ASK "SHOULD WE INCREASE THE PRICE OF PETROL."

This government has always been irresponsible for the miserable condition of common man. The number of frauds and corruption scandals tell the story about this government. They are having no affair with common man. The PM has no tongue to speak with. He always remain quiet and stars at Sonia to say something...what a government.
