    The title is misleading. Some prices have been increased.

    Fuel is in plenty in the petrol sheds as people have no money to pump it . So if it is reduced to the level of Rs 175/ which was the price before escalation then there may be a demand for fuel thus increasing the economic activity in the country.

    Now the 3 wheeler fare has to increase. Oh bus fares should reduce because both diesel and kerosene has been reduced!

    I dont understand why these idiots increased the price of Diesel. When everything is coming down , this will be a good excuse for some who are reluctant to reduce prices but enjoy super high margins

    The petrol shed owners were at it expecting the prices to go up. Even yesterday, there was a shortage of Kerosene Oli at petrol sheds. The Ministry has really beaten them. The ignorant public end up cursing the minister and the ruler.
