Petrol Jazia For Aam Aadmi- Worse Than Gen. Dyer's Bullets

THERE ARE OVER RECOVERIES IN PETROL NOT UNDER RECOVERIES

PUNJAB PETROL COSTLIEST IN THE COUNTRY

 To protect the Interests of Vote Banks ( Rich Farmers ) Diesel is being very heavily subsidised . Aam Aadmi `s Petrol is being very heavily taxed to cross subsidise Vote Bank `s Diesel. 

Even today , Petrol costs around Rs. 37 to produce . Rest are all TAXES.


 There are no Under Recoveries in Petrol . Rather there are OVER RECOVERIES in Petrol .In
Punjab Petrol is being sold nearly Rs. 8 Per Liter costlier than in then eighbouring state of Haryana although in both Punjab and Haryana Petrol is sourced from same set of refineries.

 It is worse than the days of Gen.Dyer (1919 - Jallianwala Bagh ). In 2012 India , the Non Vote Bank Indian , the Aam Aadmi is not being killed by 303 Lee Enfield Bullets ( as in Colonial
Times ) but by Highly Discriminatory Petrol , Electricity and Toll Tax Levies

( In India Plazas Toll Dodgers are categorized at V I P s and those who pay as Aam Aadmi )

===========================================================================

Petrol Costs Only Rs.35 Per Liter - No Under Recoveries

There are absolutely no Under Recoveries in Petrol . It costs Rs. 35 Per Liter. Rest are all Taxes.

By calling under recoveries in Petrol the Aam Aadmi ( the Middle Class ) is being mis guided.

Two points need to be considered here :-

Petrol Price has been Decontrolled while that of Diesel , Kerosene kept regulated ( administered ) . So the burden massive subsidy for Diesel etc is put on Petrol . Hence , in a misleading manner it is called UNDER RECOVERY IN PETROL.

 Actually it is OVER RECOVERY IN PETROL . 

Indian OIL Corporation ( IOC ) is right when i t asks the Govt. to keep   even Petrol as an administered and Controlled petroleum product.

Petrol is costing only Rs. 35 Per Liter. Rest are all Taxes - Central ,State , Municipal.

In Punjab Petrol costs  around Rs. 75 Per Liter. Octroi ( Choongi ) is continued to be  levied in Urban  areas despite the fact that Octroi has been abolished in Punjab and  to remove Octroi from Petrol was one of the Poll promises of the presently Ruling Parties of Punjab   

Petrol is used mainly by the Common Man ( Middle Class ). But Petrol is made to cross subsidise Diesel which ks used by the Vote Banks.

===========================================================================

Petrol in Punjab in the Costliest in the entire country

Diesel in Punjab is the cheapest in the entire country .

This is the result of Vote Bank politics.

Punjab CM should cut down the heavy VAT ( state taxes ) on Petrol and increase the negligible VAT on Diesel. He should not try to misguide Punjabi consumers of Petrol by trying to put the blame on Centre. Petrol in Punjab in nearly Rs.8 costlier than in the neighboring state of  Haryana . Petrol in both Punjab and Haryana is sourced from the same set of refineries . So how can Mr. Badal Sr. blame the Centre.

Similarly , Vote Bank politics in Electricity. Punjab Govt. is rushing through the Municipal Elections before the budget . After  Municipal elections massive increase is in the pipeline for Paid Category  ( Non Vote Bank Segment ) to CROSS SUBSIDISE Free Category ( Vote Bank ) consumers of electricity in Punjab. Electricity in neighboring state of Himachal Pradesh is Rs. 3 Per Unit while for Urban Punjabi business men ( Penal - Commercial rate ) it is Rs. 7 + Per Unit.

BJP Double Faced - Mum on Petrol- Electricity Jazia in Punjab

BJP 's protest nationwide , on Petrol hike are hypocritical when in Punjab where BJP is a Ruling Partner , Petrol price is the Highest in the Country and Diesel Price is the LOWEST in the country..

==============================================================================


Petrol Cars should be Exempted from Paying Toll Tax at Too Plazas.
Already
, such Petrol cars are paying nearly  Rs. 40   ( in the total price of
Rs. 81 Per Liter in Punjab ) as TAXES and CROSS SUBSIDY  ( for Diesel as
well ).
So , only Diesel Cars should pay Toll Tax.
Further , Physically Handicapped Car Travellers in Diesel cars also should be exempted.
(
India has strange logic. Here those who Dodge and Avoid Toll Tax at
Toll Plazas are called V I P s . Those who pay are called Aam Aadmi .
REAL V I P s are those WHO PAY )
