With the midst of rising the Petrol Prices and the proposal of curfew hours for filling stations to slash consumption by the petroleum minister Veerappa Moily,he had to withdraw the proposal amidst loud protest..So,TOI scanned through the Delhi Govt. officials fuel allotment i.e. how much they can use per month without paying any fuel charges..Check out this article.
The fact is Delhi CM and her 6 minister gets 700 ltrs and other ministers and officials gets around 400 ltrs to 200 ltrs monthly as per the article.And look how politely Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said “These entitlements are enough and if they use more they have to spends from their pocket”…She appears so humble.. 😛
Instead of providing free fuels I guess govt should start the Bus Pooling facility from every ministers house to their Offices at least that will save lots of fuels..
Now the politicians are getting so much of facilities and common man is dying like anything out of inflation….This is our Developing India 😦
My Interpretation on this..Check it out.. 🙂
Fuel,Comman Man and Ministers
Very nicely portrayed…
Harsha,
it is sad that our tax money is getting wasted and we are not raising our voice. we need a good leader to fight against this criminals. i wish Netaji is with us now to remove these weeds from out country.
I agree with you there should be a calculation and limit allowance for these politicians.
Also, oil is an global problem. one day there will be an end to natural resource as we are using it enormously. we need to innovate to find alternative like bio diesel or fusion cars which run on petrol and electric
It is sad that Ramar pillai came up with an idea to get petrol from plant long back. it may not be fully right but he started. At least government/ private org must funded something to innovate instead they put him in jail as cheat.
Now lot of countries are in research for petrol alternative. any one know any innovation like that is going in India ?????
well sketched ! congrats for 100th post 🙂
Thank You Ankur.. 😀
Congratulations on the 100th post! Bravo! Mamaste
Thank You Anne.. 🙂
Don’t even talk about it, I have refill my car. 😦
Nice Harsha, life goes in full circles and the days are not far when we will again ride horses and donkeys 🙂
btw sorry could visit your blogs earliers
Why do they need so much free petrol? Are they drinking it?
It has been long since I last talked to you. Or so it seems 🙂
Anyways, the image is wonderful. and the post is well, thought-provoking. The rich get richer everywhere and however wrong be it, we can all do not much .
Yes It’s been a long time I guess.. 🙂 Good to see you I mean hear from you.. 🙂
And yes the rich gets richer everywhere because the one below them never tries to stand for right because of the fear that they would be crushed,fear is the thing that is holding us back..Once we overcome it we become more responsible and stand for the right.. 🙂
Standing up and overcoming fear isn’t so easy. Those in less power are easily crushed by those in control. Weak humans have become no less than tools to be used, by our politicians, our rulers and our systems.. 😦
That is because we fear them,we don’t like to know things that we need to know…In a Democracy it is the people–But generally we see democracy as a autocracy and we never follow our duty and responsibility properly..I mean who does,everyone is busy about their own life..literally no one has time for their nation,no one feel obliged to their Nation and that is the sole strength of our Politician..
That’s right too. We humans find it much easier to break rules and go complaining about -.
Yes we take them as our other tool to give excuses and this excuses lead to our Downfall–I mean the common man perishes with their own deed.. 😦
I guess we should all start something like a cycle campaign and not buy fuel for a week and then see how the oil companies pressurize these politicians and what do they do for us in return.
Yes that is a pretty good idea…and Moreover if general People can go for Car Pooling why these Politicians can’t do that anyway they are doing nothing good that are worth of free fuel..
No onions in my house from long:(
Hmmm Sad to hear that…But be optimistic at least there will be no tears in your eyes as you won’t have any to chop.. 😉
In Bangalore I guess it is 59 to 65 per kg
.. agree with all of the above and wonderfully simple 🙂
Thanks a Lot Sauvik.. 🙂
Comman man uncomman challenges. 😦
Indeed and fighting these challenges has now become a necessity..
Thanks for Dropping by.. 🙂
The common man is fodder for politicians.
A time will come when poor people will be used as raw material in fuel-producing industries! Poverty will then be eradicated!
Well Said Sir..What the Rich thing is that the only way to remove Poverty is to eradicate the poor but will never try to uplift them..
Well said !
Bitter Truth Paresh..
Thanks for dropping by.. 🙂
Sad it this….what will happen in future 😦
Future is in our Hands and We should build a better future together.. 🙂
I’ve heard that some countries in Europe are now banning cars on the road during certain hours. During these hours, you can commute only on bicycles. In those countries, it’s being done to reduce pollution. In India, we might have to do the same out of majboori! Mera bharat mahaan 😛
Indeed it has become utmost necessary,using of public transport,Car Pooling should be made mandatory not only for Common People but also for the Ministers..
Even democracy is an autocracy but hidden …. the Kings and the Knights are chosen by us … the only difference.. now they have all the rights to get gold for free which costs us life 🙂
Right message .. Harsha Sir … 🙂
Indeed Nitesh Bhai..Democracy is an Autocracy now because Indian Citizens never take any matter seriously never do they try anything out of responsibility or duty…
Excellently portrayed !!
Thanks a Lot Rukh.. 🙂
Sad state of affairs!
Well sketched.
India has become a place where breathing is also going to cost the Common Man,These Politicians will no stone unturned to make our life hell..
Nice one
Now days even bicycle also so costly.I have a cyclist friend and he got a bicycle worth 80 K 🙂 Nice and hilarious post !
Indeed the effect of Inflation..so it is better to trade your car for a Bicycle now or later it will be like we will get Bicycle for a hefty price.. 🙂
So true, God knows what will going to happen of India.
India will Shine..Just we citizens need to be more responsible.. 🙂
woh din kabhi tau aayega. . . .
It will come and surely will come
