The Indian government has been reprimanded by the CAG for almost 10-15 cases in the recent times including 2G, CWG, Delhi Airports, uncanny expenses to keep Air India afloat, revenue leakage in Reliance gas exploration etc. If we look into the total estimated loss, it runs into many thousand crores.
But I wonder, if the government can be so callous in its approach in handling such high ticket items. Why is it so prompt to correct the fiscal impropriety in pricing of the Petroleum products? If Raja, Kalmadi and other industrialists have benefitted out of an imprudent regime, why only common man is devoid of his share in this whole game.
The government has deliberately benefitted the rich and influential through corrupt practices and crony capitalism. So, a common man may also demand his share through a rightful consumption of petrol, diesel, kerosene and LPG at a highly subsidised rates. The day the government is able to bring fiscal prudence at all other places, it may raise the petroleum prices. Till then, please let the common man relish the subsidised petroleum products. The government has no moral rights to add to my fiscal burden.
