In what is called technical glitch by the Indian oil company, Indians are again fooled by the RSS/BJP government. Initially, the website of the oil company indicated 60 paise cut in the petrol and diesel prices. Already the prices of the fuel are higher than the other countries though the fuel prices have dropped considerably. Indians are paying too much for the diesel and petrol.

The RSS/BJP Government is earning a huge windfall by collecting what can be only termed as the extortion by the state.

What is shocking about the one paise relief is the way in which the government is trying to squeeze a single paisa from the pockets of the Indian. Already, the RSS/BJP government has caused a considerable strain on the lives of people and its policies have only destroyed Indian economy.

The Government is not ready to offer any relief to the affected people. The RSS/BJP Government fails to understand the basic economics of the oil prices as the increase in the cost of transformation fuels the inflation to a great extent and hence one cannot increase the prices also it is needed to transfer the benefit to the citizens. None of this is happening and the money snatched from the pockets of the citizens is easily getting transferred to the accounts of crony capitalists.
