    • Agencies Tags : India petrol price hike, Murli Deora, roll back Posted: Thursday , Jul 02, 2009 at 1507 hrs

    Independent member Inder Singh Namdhari said about 3,000 farmers of Palamau in Jharkhand had written to the President seeking permission to commit suicide because government has done nothing to save them from the drought conditions prevailing in the region for the past three years.

    "You have only added salt to their injury by increasing diesel prices," he said. Shiv Sena leader Anant Geete, M Thambidurai (AIADMK), Narahari Mahato (Forward Bloc) and Shailendra Kumar (SP) demanded immediate withdrawal of the hike. They said dams, reservoirs and ponds have dried up and there was no other option for the poor but to depend on diesel for irrigating their fields using pumps.

    PRICE HIKE HIKES GENERAL COST OF LIVING AND POOR ARE VICTIMS.By: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | 03-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward PRICE HIKE HIKES GENERAL COST OF LIVING AND POOR ARE VICTIMS. Instead of hiking fuel cost which gives room for increase in cost of living and agitation for pay hike, strikes etc, let the government get all illgotten money from SWISS BANKS. Besides let Lokayukta be given powers to process cases. This gives sufficient funds and make country prosper also.B S GANESH, BANGALORE

    Prices are determined by market forcesBy: Hary Nambiar | 02-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward Prices of commodities are determined by market forces. It should never be a political decision. However, the government should regulate methods and channels of distribution so that there is no price gouging at various levels of distribution.

    What a gift to Congress Bashers!By: B S Kumar | 02-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward A lot of fools are going to have a great time bashing the Cong led government for the fuel price hike. Would be even greater fun when the government removes all control and simply attaches our pump prices to international oil prices. We do not make the oil we need, fools! We import it, and have no control over how much it costs. So shut up and bear with it.
