    Make me understand this: after fuel prices go up by 20 Rs, they get cut by Rs 2 and we ‘celebrate’? What happens now if oil crosses $100 a barrel? Is fuel state controlled or market driven or festival/election driven?

    Govt writes off 3,16,500 crore rupees from public banks in the last 4 years!! This amount is more than double of the annual spending in health, education and social protection. Govt for defaulters—what a country have we made? Irony: just above the news PM in an ad on education..
