don_corleone840 Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 This is not an Anti Bjp thread. I think both Cong and BJP failed to curb oil prices. But i am surprised that this is not an issue for most nowadays (although it was big one during cong term) .
gattaca Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I don’t know what was price during UPA regime or the increase. Don’t forget India can’t import from Iran anymore as well. We probably got it cheaper compared to Saudi. Edited June 24, 2020 by gattaca Clarke 1

Compare per capita income of both countries as well

India is around 80 rupees a liter. US is $1.90 a gallon. I USD = 75.64 INR 1 Gallon = 3.78 liters Clarke 1
Stan AF Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Absolutely no sense in this when the international oil prices are so low. And not surprisingly the usual suspects are quiet everywhere. . The people of this country deserve this government for keep raising prices at a time of rising covid infections, pandemic deaths and widespread job losses. More misery in general. Buckle up and try to enjoy the ride . Don't bother quoting this post. Edited June 24, 2020 by Stan AF Laaloo, Nonbeliever, Clarke and 2 others 1 2 2

But i am surprised that this is not an issue for most nowadays (although it was big one during cong term) . I don't see it as an issue in itself. The question to ask is where does the money go ? Even that can be approximated by looking at the budget. People seem oblivious to the idea of deficits. 3-4% of GDP sounds small since the number is low single digit. If you look at it as a percentage of tax revenue, your eyes will start to hurt. Is desh mein everyone from small farmer to MNC CEO expects a bailout when things don't work for them. Where is the money coming from is not their problem though. Edited June 24, 2020 by Clarke

adi B Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Right step taken by the government, aim is to make it Rs 100 till the economic crisis remains ,its a big source of income for the gov.Even the public dont seem too buzzed because they know the goi need income. Hopefully people use less of self vehicles . Anyway we are a country which splashes so much of money in subsidies, Reservation scholarship,loans and what not! Edited June 24, 2020 by adi B

You mean people should cramp themselves in public transport and get infected with Covid. Personal vehicles are safest bet in Corona.

So Government should increase price when Covid is over. At times of huge business loss, job loss , pay cut when your own transport is safest bet you are increasing price of petrol which will force people to use more of public transport.
