    When he was a prime minister/Finance minister he has controlled the fuel prices to the best he can do without boasting about it. Our present Prime Minister was boasting about when the price of fuel came down once he took the power (Price came down because of the international crude price crashed)....and after that fuel prices have gone up and up even if the crude prices never reached half the price during Mr. Manmohan Singhs tenure. These BJP leaders were saying rupee is in ICU and by Keeping gas cylinders on the road and cooking on firewood have shut their mouth since then. This is not their cup of tea anyway....they are fit to sell tea on the roadside and nothing else.
