Price hike

It has become customary for political parties to increase the prices of fuel after being elected to power and reduce them marginally whenever the government’s term is about to end. The hike in the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs. 4 and Rs. 2 will affect the middle class badly. The common man, reeling under the impact of a global recession, is already struggling to meet his basic needs. When will India stop depending on other nations for oil?
