The comments made so far are negative. We need to appreciate the good things the politicians do and criticize the bad without always trying to look at things in a negative way.

Gas is used by the POOR && SUPER RICH.
To help the poor why don't you remove all duties imposed, instead of just reducing Rs125/=.
Give it at duty free price

Whether gimmick or not, this is a most welcome move but more needs to be done.

What is the pricing formula adopted by this government? Like some one said - the president is doing a polka - one step forward, two steps backwards.

It was increased by 230. Decreased by 117. What nonsense?? You simply raise the price of a commodity and then reduce it by half. Does the government want us to applaud now?
