    Wah!!!!!!!!
    ACHEE DIN AAGAYE!!!!

    Now the companies say increasing global prices of crude is increasing, but we did not see any decrease in prices when the prices of crude was half of today. And why is the price being increased now, when it could be halted for 17 days of election.
    Or is it just to fool the people and cover it up with the wonderful speeches of our PM

    There is nothing wrong in contributing for the development of the nation through taxes on petrol.
    The extra taxes which we paid in last four years have become worthy now in Karnataka to give a stable government to Kannadigas! 100 crore per person is not a small amount!!!
