    Shockingly very effective 'Surgical strike' on poor Indians savings.

    No money for social scheme.Health budget is one of the lowest in world.Where is the additional profit goes from the massive profit?
    Imagine if crude touches $150 like UPA II.How much Indians must have been paying during PM Modi's 'Sab ka saat,sab ka vikas'?

    this govt has benefitted directly or indirectly only to the high end business class people like adani, ambani etc.during election time Mr Modi's ache din he proclaimed was for these fellows. otherwise think my fellow Indians s make in India, but imports from china recently reliance jio was launched, the ambassador was Mr Modi,while BSNL is limping and licking its wounds for survival. and so on goes the story of Mr Modi. to hide his disability in governing every other day a new issue is created to divert the mass in he name of religion caste and god know what else.God save our country other than that nothing can be done

    when international market of oil has crashed, feku govt has taken full advantage of that. common people thought it is because of modi petrol price has come down. not only that, they have projected as if it was them who have brought down the oil price. Now? govt is feeling the heat. one or the other day people will come to know the truth behind the fake encounter, surgical strike, everything.

    I can understand the fluctuations in pricing of gas,petrol and diesel.Why do we make so much noise when the price go up?These items are imported,refined and transported so that we fill our vehicles which run 7 to 95 kilometeres based on the type of vehicle that we use.
    Whereas the booze that the common man consumes to forget his worries are locally made and it priced at almost three times for the same qty we do not cry foul.Eg.A bottle of beer costs from Rs. 120 to 150 for just 650ML when converted to litre,the actual cost comes to Rs. 200 to 250,How come no one takes up this issue of dispartiy?

    Thank you Dear P.M Modiji for acche din.Everyday I am fearful of what next coming.Taxes are high and only for poor or middle class. Inflation very high that our daily food is rationed!I used to send my children for one of the best school,Now I am sending them for medium range.I had invested in land so that I can build a home,now I have to sell it for cheap price as real estate is crashed and no one can afford!To go to hospitals I think I may have to sell my kidneys to raise money it its comes to that. I sold my land to settle the loan and I lost everything. You are behind black money and I think please target Dirty politicians who have deposited multi million crores in banks abroad! you are only targeting middle class Indians. We are doomed and I am unable to cope with this.I do not think our children will have any future.Poor left poor and rich are mighty and powerful!There is no law and order in our country. Where is safety?I think this country my dear country is going in the opposite direction. Seriously I am too much troubled and worried.as per prices for petrol and diesel,I think you will increase so much that it will, become Rs 100 for petrol and diesel by next 12 months. Finally this comment makes no difference to the Govt because they donot care about us!

    When Manmohan Singh was the Prime Minister, crude price price shot up to $147 per barrel but the petrol price in India was just above 70 rupees. When FEKU is the prime minister, when the crude oil price is $51 per dollar, the petrol price in Bangalore is 71 rupees per litre!!!

    At Rs 3350 per barrel for crude, considering 86 litres of petrol, 52 litres of diesel and other derivatives, the price of petrol and diesel comes to three times.

    Mr. Jossey Saldanha ,
    America is a major player in International Oil market. America is the largest consumer of oil. (America has the largest stock file of oil & Natural gas for next generations) It has strongest oil Industry with millions of barrels of out put per day. Alaska, California, Texas, Oklahoma and Dakota states have major oil fields. American companies were and now in forefront in oil drilling, refining and logistics all over the world. American oil companies control assets all over the world and indirectly control many national Governments and economy in middle east, Asia and Africa.

    Jossey, are you really in US!?. It looks everything, including your name is fake!. For your information, Today America is the largest producer of petroleum products in the world and Saudi Arabia is second!. Today's oil price crash world over is because, US has started to extract shale oil (check net what it is!) With new technology and today US also exports oil!. I thought people going to US are intelligent! !!

    US $ is the most traded currency in the world and also comparatively, stable currency, Hence, oil being in international market, is traded mostly in that currency. However, some countries, trade oil in Euro, pound, Yuan or Swiss Franc.

All rich people are sending their Children to USA to study and enjoy life to the fullest. US Government is offering security to all foreign and domestic investors with out discrimination. America is Blessed country because of charity and help to poor people of the world.
