How are people who are talking about cars in a separate website not enthusiasts normal people won't really care much
Ya'll Nibbiars some gems from the Enthusiast Forum.
Rest assured, any Indian govt. in power will tax fuel heavily. Taxing fuel is India's most reliable source of income generation. There are no tax evaders/defaulters when it comes to petroleum products. Plus the product is a drain on the exchequer.
So what were we being injected with before COVID became a thing? Smelly stuff of the bovine variety, I suppose.
Oh wait, never mind.
There was reduction in corporate tax from 30% to 22% last year. So as to compensate for the reduction in tax collection, government increased tax on poor people. So there are other ways for the government if they want to. It's all priorities of the government. Poor people can't donate to party funds anyway.
Blaming the Minister.
Wondering if this honourable gentleman has ingested some of the petroleum products he's speaking about! Such idiocy at the highest levels of government is appalling.
P.s. Basically, these guys can blame any and everything on COVID 19 now, easiest excuse.
How do they manage to get away with such blatant lies to the public.
It is well known that GOI is buying the vaccine at Rs.215 / dose (Covishield) & Rs.225 / dose for Covaxin, so at max it is Rs.450 per citizen. These are the increased prices as the first few batches were at lower rates of around Rs.150/dose.

The government has budgeted that free vaccination will cost them around Rs.50k crore while they have netted an additional Rs.1.8 Lakh crore from fuel taxes in the last FY alone!!

The aam aadmi on his Hero Splendor is paying Rs.130 extra per tank of fuel (10 litre tank and Rs.13 excise increase last year on a litre of petrol) and would have indirectly already more than paid for vaccinating his family over the past year and a half with such high fuel taxation.
And state dosen't have appetite for the taxes.
GOI has a voracious appetite for taxes and so the prices will keep increasing, even if the OPEC off loads crude free of cost in the market, GOI will find an excuse to raise prices willingly...it needs to pay salaries of it's bloated babu-dom and the MP's and MLA's who generously pat themselves on their collective backs and give themselves hikes and perks...and we the tax payers will foot the bill: no questions asked. I remember during the Indo Pak wars there used to be a war time tax now we're with war with Covid and this will go on and shall never be reduced and the public will generally get used to this level of inflation.
And here's the masterpiece.
The previous govt didn't tax the fuels.
Yes, but the Central taxes have increased a lot over the years. What around 9 Rs per Litre in 2014 is around 33 Rs per Litre now.
And Modi should resign.
May I know what subsidy does the government provide to public transport? Today even a platform ticket cost Rs.50. Price of everything depends upon diesel price. Hike in diesel prices cause increase in transportation and production cost, results in increase price of all the commodities. Those poor people, who doesn't even have acces to bikes, won't have enough money to buy commodities at an increased cost. Actually those poor people will suffer the most.
If the govt cannot find tax invaders, it's the governments fault. The government should accept their failure to find the tax envaders and resign.
