Well, its not that we have much option when the government decides to increase the price of fuel. It is much to the whims and that they say its based on oil market movements, yet, I am willing to pay. But let the money be put into the better use of the purpose that they are claimed to be used, and not to cover up for the arbitrary losses that the so called public sector enterprises gobble up in the name of correcting their balance sheets.
A look into the business operations of the hyped navratnas, or elephantine companies like the state air carrier and the oil companies and it is evident to see the usage to betterment of their babu-dom than efficiency and better use of resources. So much so that the very concept of accountability doesn’t creep into them, and you will have the nonsensical, unreasonable unions of these companies actually playing the labour welfare trump card and justifying many of the wasteful expenditures that they indulge in.
Its high time that the markets decide the price of any commodity and / or the business operations make them accountable for their fate. We are no different when we cry hoarse on over protectionism measures announced by countries to protect their interests. Why the double talk? If I am willing to pay; let me get the worth of it.
