The Central Government was waiting for the elections in the five states to be over to increase the prise of petrol, The moment the elections are over it is proposing to increase the petrol to the extent of Rs. 5 ? Already the prices have been increased more than 10 times and the present proposal increase will put the people to more trouble. It is reported that oil companies are also pressing for the hike. The Members of Parliament has to take the issue seriously so that the government taxes on petrol is reduced so that the price also will come down. Another matter  – It is very clear that this government is not interested in putting a stop to the price rise. It is on the side of the businessmen and corporates who want to increase the prices to reap much more profit.
