There should be people at the helm of affairs who sense the sensitivities

You can comfortably sit in cosy rooms, enjoying all the perks and facilities and go on sermonizing on the vast amount of losses occurred on account of sale of petroleum products.

You say that the prices have been decontrolled and the government has no say in the matter. But would you leave the prices alone? No, you would attach taxes, excise duties and other levies and say that everything is decontrolled. This is mere insensitivity.

You may be able to balance the deficit by extorting the people. But things are very bad.

Don’t believe the people managing the petroleum companies with their accounts. The people do not know the prospecting of petroleum production and purchases, in the country and abroad. The people are not involved in the affairs of these petroleum companies. And the government would say, it has no control.

The government is planning to make a cut for cooking gas. The price would come to Rs 797.something for a cylinder. But it may graciously reduce it to Rs 750 per cylinder. What a grace?

And these are people who say that we would get piped gas. And these are the same people who say that our country is going to be a developed nation post-2020.
