![]()
Well now most of you might be thinking has this guy gone nuts!!! Why would any sane person on this planet want the price of a commodity like petrol to increase? Petrol has become an essential part of our everyday life, has its cost not already increased to an unbearable level. But let us delve into this a little bit further. Now why exactly has the price of petrol increased? Is not the price of petrol decided by the government? And why would the UPA want to increase the price of petrol in an election year and that too when inflation is already touching new highs almost every coming week. And it’s common knowledge that inflation has brought down a many strong Indian Governments in the past. One possible reason if you are still unaware of it is that we in India don’t produce a lot of Oil like the Gulf Countries. To be more precise we buy more than 70% of our oil from foreign countries, mostly OPEC members like Saudi Arabia, UAE etc.
