The UPA should have increased the price of petroleum product based on the market price of crude and production cost... increase of around Rs25/lit for petrol and Rs30/lit for diesel... Either way the Indian Citizen has to pay for higher international crude price... If we pay directly, we can see the cost to our nation. However, now we are paying indirectly and without transperency and God only knows, what will be the economic cost to our nation... Anyway the UPA can not hope to comeback in the next general elections. At leat this was the least they could have done for the good of the nation....
