Today, Nation seems to have become one. Whether it is a road side vendor or a big business man or a house-wife or a student or a teacher everyone is talking and discussing only one issue and that is petrol, diesel and gas cylinder price hike. Such a steep hike has not been noticed in recent times.

Is the government justified or not is not the only question. The question that is very important is how does a common man meet his daily needs. Most of the decision taking people and high ups are not bothered as most of them get petrol as perks. But the increase in petrol/diesel prices translates into hike in prices of all commodities as the movement of goods is mainly through road transport. In fact the rising prices today remind me of a muslim king who believed in not allowing the common man to have any surplus money. He said that public should have enough money for a meal so that the moment they finish one meal they start thinking of how to manage the next. Is it that our government is to follow suit.

Yes! It is a compulsion with the government but then why don’t they cut down on unlimited free petrol, free electricity and free rail travel and free phone calls. Why are all these taxing measures only for the people already reeling under the oppressing price hike in essential commodities.

Other measures that should have been taken care of can be like improving the Public Transport System so that a common man has something to turn to. Just sitting in glass houses and ordering definitely lead to chaos and a general unrest.

Recently Nation has suffered a loss of crores because of Gujjar’s protest while the Chief Minister was throwing pamphlets, which many involved people may not read, from a helicopter using precious petrol bought by the Government. Why no check on this?
But we can thank the Government for one thing and that is bringing the Nation together positively or negatively.
