CNG price
What are we the general citizens supposed to say or do? This is the sector where thousands of crores was looted by the corrupt officials. It has been proved. We the citizens paid this money by paying more and more for general commodities. This price hike is the result of the money drained out of the economy by the miscreants. Those people are being punished now. Fine. By checking these grafts the economy will flourish and the citizens will get their cut. At this point what is driving you, the advisers, to impose new punishment on us? Or do you think we do not deserve to be served good with the only affordable resource of our own? Have you raised the pay scale to meet our daily transport fares resulting from this price hike? The transport fare is already irrational. When there is a 2% increase in the fuel prices, the transport union goes for a 44% fare increase, irrespective of petrol or gas and you cannot control it.
The proposed 87.5% price increase for CNG will result in a 21% profit cut for a CNG three wheeler operator, but they are sure to ask for a 90% increase in the fare structure. Every corner of the economy is going to be affected and we, your general citizens, are going to suffer.
You cannot control businessmen, you cannot control trade imbalance, you cannot chalk out a good bargain from the World Bank, you fail to understand UN policies and you are on the verge of jeopardizing the only promising sector of our country. We are very proud of your anti-graft operations, we are proud of your reform activities.
Help us lead a decent life!
