Regarding LPG hike 24-06-2011
– The gesture on the part of Tamil Nadu government to reduce sales tax on LPG is no doubt laudable. But the Centre cannot wash its hands off on this issue for two reasons:
1) When international crude oil price is falling there is no justification to hike the price.
2) Right from post-independence our country has been rocked by one scandal or the other. Commencing from 1962 jeep scandal, T.T.K – Mundhra share scandal, SBI Nagarwala case, Harshad Mehta scam, Telgi stamp paper scam, Mandvi Cooperative Bank scam and now the 2Gscam. The quantum of money all put together lost in these scams runs to few lakh crores whereas the deficit shown by the oil companies is only Rs1,22,000/- crores through subsidies. We would have overcome the problem had it been for a corrupt free government. As usual the lower class of people is hurt the most. Further, at the T.N state level the DMK perfected the art of corruption right from inception of power in 1967. The Madras Corporation muster roll fraud, Veeranam lake pipeline scandal etc. Moreover, the DMK chief showed his concern by directing the state government to reduce the sales tax. Now, it would not be necessary as the 2G scam was committed by his party man Raja and his daughter Ms Kanimozhi. Both of them should share the burden and relieve the common man from the price hike of petroleum products.
