Price raise in Diesel, Kerosene and LPG Gas

With the Government making a decision for the increasing the Diesel, Kerosene and LPG Gas prices after the election and also when it is time to introduce the Lokpal bill in the Parliament.

The basic necessities of “Aam Aadami” or Common Man, which needs Kerosene and LPG Gas in order to cook their food and Diesel which is needed most by the Transportation in order to ferry the basic commodities and essential services in now going to be costlier. With the inflation of food prices now reaching double digit and RBI increasing their loan rate. It is now becoming harder and harder for common to survive.

With Government deciding on Diesel as Rs 3/- and LPG Gas to only Rs.50/- and Kerosene by Rs. 2/-. This will increase the burden on the LIG, MIG and BPL citizens across the country.

How will this affect our pockets?

With the last increase of Rs. 5/- on petrol, it was hard to decide where and how to save their money on the increase of the petrol price in order to commute. Now with the increase of diesel it will hard hit on the transportation which commute and brings the basic necessities things to the city. The most affected will be truck drivers where they do not have the increase in their salaries or transportation cost.
