Fuel price hike-War against people

Common man in this country which is supposed to be having a democratically elected government “for the people,by the people” is helpless.Whatever these rulers of the country (who call themselves as servants of people but in reality looters of the country)do ,common man will have to suffer as none of them are not even bothered about common people of this country.Whether you rise price of petroleum products to any level and whether inflation goes so high to make our currency a valueless paper,these rulers are not affected.They get money in tones by looting the country and all their personal needs and comforts are taken care of fully by the state machinery.This is true whether the party ruling has a khadi uniform or saffron uniform or a red blood colour uniform.None of them are bothered about the people or even the economic health of the country.

The other day I was talking to an old friend of mine who has just recently retired as CMD of a large public sector undertaking of Kerala.I met him at the corporate office of a private sector company possibly for discussions to get an assignment in that company at a senior level. I asked him-“Why you did not try to get an extension or a posting in any other public sector undertaking?”His answer was not surprising to me.

“The central minister in charge is extremely corrupt.How long I can sign on the dotted lines sanctioning or abetting his looting?” I know my friend to be an upright honest man.In an earlier occasion when a high ranking person from Delhi representing a Dutch MNC contacted me for  assistance to approach this man for a murky deal,I have straight away refused without even contacting my friend knowing his integrity and honesty.
Funniest part of the story is that this particular central minister is not even considered as corrupt by the media who are eager to get any such story.Gone are the days when corrupt deals of few crores like Bofors  get headlines in news.Now they loot in lakhs of crores and still nobody bothers.Can you imagine these crooks ruling the country taking interest in lives of you and me?They are not bothered even if diesel price is made double and one tea or coffee price reaches Rs.100 or more.

Look at price structure of petroleum products.Almost 50% of the cost is taxes and duties.When you pay Rs.41 for a liter of diesel,price which the oil company gets is only Rs.20/-This price of Rs.20 itself has got in it inputs of import duty on crude oil and uncontrolled heavy overhead expenses of public sector oil companies merry making without any competition.More than 25% of the crude oil is indigenously manufactured and it does not have any  price to be paid or import duty.Who bothers about all these?

When Kerala ruling party declares yet another Harthal threatening people with dire consequences if they move out on daily chores from their houses as a protest against petroleum price hike,I wonder why they are not even thinking of reducing 25% local tax on price of diesel if they have even the slightest concern for the poor helpless people of this country run by political crooks including them?

They will not reduce taxes and will consider petroleum products as the easiest route to amass maximum tax revenue knowing  very well that common man will have to buy it whatever may be the cost.

How to escape after doing anything

There are few people who try and become VIPs on their own.They manage money somehow.As long as you have money power nobody bothers to ask you how you got it.Once you have enough money amassed,then you need political power.What better way than forming a political party? If you have money ,you can get people to shout for you,and very recently two people even pretended to do suicide for the “great leader unable to hear possibility of him getting arrested.” Luckily they got what they wanted(media coverage) and they escaped unhurt in the attempt to self immolate them for fear of their” undisputed leader getting arrested”!

Look at what all the great achievements of this great leader.More than 55 innocent people killed in bomb blast at Coimbatore are forgotten by every one.Nobody is punished for the great crime for “lack of evidence”.Our judicial system has got the basic principle that it simply do not bother if a culprit of heinous crimes is left out.Funniest part of the story is that the culprit start talking as if the bomb blast has taken place without anybody doing anything for it.Probably those people died in bomb blast are punished by God for their sins without any of the great “leaders” doing anything for it.

After escaping jail,the accused is treated as a saint.Great Pinaray talks as if he is innocence in human form.One more Kalamassery bus torching and now Bangalore bomb blast.With the help of money power and political power that follows he is still eloquently talking as if he is innocent.Probably he will again manage to obtain no evidence for this case also.One more bomb blast and several innocent people die.But who cares for them? people behind such anti national activities are acclaimed as innocent VIPs!There is not a single political or otherwise leader in Kerala willing to call a spade a spade.Those dead in bomb blasts are simply forgotten.They have no money power or political power
