The diesel price hike-new thunderbolt for the common man
Once the new president is elected the prices of diesel and LPG is going to be increased to improve the economy!. This is one of the steps recommended by the so-called experts to improve the Indian economy.For the common man this is a thunderbolt which will make life more difficult.The rise in the price of diesel will have a cascading effect on the prices of so many things , the family budget is going for a toss and make day-to-day living difficult.Already we are suffering from high prices for most of the commodities , above all we pay very high amount of tax too.Our salaries do not increase according to the price rise, most of the companies not giving a pay hike to the employees citing difficult economic times.
Why is the prices are increased? it is supposed to bring down fiscal deficit of the government .The government is spending more than its revenue collection.Most of the money is spend on schemes like job guarantee schemes and the benefits never reaches the right person.Most of the money is siphoned off by the politician official nexus .The government is not ready to implement measures to check the corruption on its departments and spend more money on populist programs like food security where most of the money will be going to line the pockets of undeserving people.
Why should we suffer this silently ? we should not. We should rise our voices whenever possible and support those whistle blowers,anti corruption crusaders and other activists who point out how money is wasted by the Govt and how we can prevent it.Because this is going to be a never-ending thing as prices go up and our incomes never match up.The experts who regularly appears on various news channels suggest various remedies for the economy but no body is sure whether these measures work. The so-called reforms suggested by these experts are implemented by countries like Greece, Spain ,Portugal,Italy and these countries are in dire straits now.There is no guarantee these will work for india.Over 2,00,000 farmers committed suicide in various parts of India in the last 10 years and no body offers a remedy for it. Our infrastructure is collapsing , no one have an idea how to improve it.
We need a balanced approach to the economy by which we can control inflation, improve infrastructure ,improve agriculture and these will improve the lives of the people.The rising prices of diesel and LPG is not a solution but it will make things worse for the government .There is going to be a big popular backlash and government will find it difficult to face it .Let ‘s us hope wise counsel will prevail and decisions will not be taken in haste .
We have suffered enough and do not want more agony piled on us
