I remember the lowest deisal prices i had seen on the digit systems of petrol/diesal machines at fuel pumps was Rs 5.00 per litre. The UPA government had totally failed to stop inflation at any value, I personally think that they ( whole UPA GOvt.)should make resign statement to nation as they fail to handle the situtaion infact they had made the situation terrible.But I know this also that the ministers/ Politicians they are shameless peoples by birth, but one thing I can do is that never to make my vote to haath wale log bade dirty log hai.

do you know apart from net price we gives sales tax about 35% and cess for building road by bjp govt if all state govt reduce sales tax we will get better price but b j p govt want to reduce sales tax since they want to take political advantage and tell people that u p a govt is failed in price checking tell me M P of bjp who is running industri can run in loss for that sake of public no they want to loot the public so rember all plilitician are same and want to fool people and grab power so please think twice before blaming any one party do you know same B J P govt masde policy that oil company can increse price once in 15 days depends uo on internation cruid oil price if same was apllicable today we would ave paid around 112 per litre
The lowest price paid by myself was near to Rs 13.25 paise in the ninities. Whenever my father arrives at home in his bajaj super scooter he passes the keys to me and asked to make some diet ( petrol) arragement for his step son ( scooter).And today i had my own car and bullet and getting petrol in their tanks means a world for me. sooch raha hou to own a bull-cart and start using it. Kyonki sardar ne to rate badate hi rehne hai kya kare.

I think you know that owning a Bull is far more costly.. You may have to spend 100% more for the same distance travelled on your bullet compared to the bull-cart. Also you can't use bull-carts in city roads (Illegal.. Please refer to RTA rules)
Watching vver the last several decades, it is s clear, the Congress has been less than efficient in managing prices than NDA, BJP & others. To cover up their inability, Congress starts mouth- ing economic rhetoric such as "in a developing economy. prices are bound to rise". Yes, they rise but not this phenomenally.

update ur records. no govt has been able to control oil prices due lack of long term vision. NDA, BJP or UPA; each one of them has never gone for a deduction on excise duty or sales tax. the original oil price has always been half of what we actually pay. e.g. if petrol was 30/-per litre in NDA govt regime, then at that time we used to pay almost 15/- per litre in terms of various taxes.
the need is to go for alternate fuel options and exploring our own resources. but we people always used to induldge ourselves in NDA or UPA driven politics. plz get out of it.

The point I am trying to make is that prices did rise during all regimes but during the NDA time, the items were still affordable despite the increasing prices then. Now during UPA regime, it is a nightmare. Plus there were much less industrial strikes during NDA regime because of the real fear of privatization, so man days lost was much less. Overall, NDA looked more efficient in comparison.
Cooking gas when it was first introduced in the early sixties was first sold at Rs. 16 per cylinder. Deposit for gas cylinder was Rs. 50 ! Price of real estate in Karol Bagh, Delhi was Rs. 8 per square yard in the late fifties. How much is it now ? !!
The Lowest price paid for Diesel by was Rs. 8.00 per litre in the year 1997. I used to drive an ambassador at that time with a fuel tank capacity 50 Lts. and the Full Tank used to cost me a mere Rs. 400/- and now GOD HELP ME!!!
I remember having paid Rs. 3 10 annas for a gallon of petrol in the sixties, in Delhi in late fifties. Later it became 67p per litre in Bombay as it was then called, when the Rupee paisa concept came into being some time in 1964.
