Akilesh you are right. When NDA ruled there was steep increase of petrol and diesel rates. Railway department was branded loss making and wanted to be handed over to private parties. Railway fares were increased every year. The strength of NDA was its propagation machinery. UPA government has failed to communicate that they have done to common people. It was P.V. Narasimha Rao' government that brought in economic liberalization. When Dr. Manmohan Singh wanted to resign as Finance minister, every party including BJP begged him to stay and pull out India from economic crisis.
