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.
