What common man thinks:
- Congress government has failed completely in controlling prices. We should not vote for this party again.
- It is all because of corrupted politicians.
- See petrol prices in Pakistan & Bangladesh. It is very low. Only in India why we are paying so much. ( Even though common man doesn't know what is the real prices in those countries) Government should give subsidy in our country.
What actually happened:
- Common man never understood the value of limited resources like petrol, electricity, water etc
- As per my Googling last year car sales were around 2 lakhs and bike sales were around 8 lakhs. These kind of figures over recent years has increased the gap between demand and supply.
- Common man never encouraged alternate methods to petrol like using Gas & Electricity. He always gave silly reasons for avoiding them.
- People started buying cars just to show off. They think that, now we are earning more and we should have a car.
- Government doesn't have control over petrol prices. Companies have independence to take decision on increasing petrol prices. So there is no point in blaming government alone.
I hope you guys understood the real issue. Stop blaming others and start taking action for your own benefit.
PS: Use bi-cycle if your work place is near to your home. Try using public transport whenever you have chance to use them.
