government speaks like company sarkar

The Empowered Group of Ministers once again recommended steep hike in prices of petroleum products. The justification is increase in losses of petroleum companies.The Minister concerned and the party spokes person showed utter ignorance and insensitivity to the plight of common Indian by saying that the hike in prices in little. But they minced no words in explaining how huge are the losses suffered by the companies. In a country where 78 percent people live on 20 rupees per day how two rupees hike in kerosene prices can be said minimal? Or those who can afford cooking gas majority of them also belong to a strata of society where 50 rupees hike is going to make a lot of difference. The uninterrupted rise in the prices of food have put the people of this country in a difficult situation.Now saying this current rise in prices is insignificant is rubbing salt on their wounds. This also shows that this government is for the companies not for the people. It is not at all worried about worsening quality of life of Indian people. Otherwise it would have reduced its extravagant expenditures tried hard to contain corruption and thus provide relief to common people.
