Hike in Diesel prices by Rs.5/- will affect the prices of transportation and will have spiraling effect on items of daily consumption like vegetables, milk and almost everything an average consumer requires. Along with this is another bombshell from Government. Now ever family will get only 6 subsidized cylinders and for more than 6 cylinders one will have to pay market price, which is going to b
e around Rs.750/- per cylinder. This will effect an average family by Rs.2100/- per month (Rs.750 - Rs.400) X 6 = Rs. 2100/-. Add to this Rs.2/- per liter hike made by Mother Dairy 2-3 days back. Just imagine the plight of a man who has to run a family and earns only Rs.7000 - Rs.8000/- per month.
Government says that they have to increase prices of diesel and LPG because prices in international market are rising. This is not the truth, near about 40-50% consists of Taxes Government imposes a lot of taxes on petroleum products. If Government was successful in tackling corruption, the level of taxes would have been lower and Government would not have increased the prices like this. Our present political class is totally insensitive towards the hardships borne by an average person. We must find new alternatives.
