Certainly the oil price hike is going to have ripple effects all across the economy. Only an ignoramus would claim that the common man won t be affected because he rides a bicycle,cheap toms. Riding a bicycle does not insulate oneself from the wider price hikes that will occur across the board, due to the higher cost of transportation, distribution, energy consumption, etc. What a preposterous argument. 1:11 pm May 24, 2012 Murali wrote: It is a total rubbish that oil is being subsidised..

What about the hefty taxes, surcharges,toms shoes discount, cess and other such mess on the base cost by central and state govt? Why cant the govt forgo that? The common man is not affected? What about across the board price hike in vegetables, food items, bus/share auto/auto fares? Do these affect the rich or the common man? 2:27 pm May 24, 2012 ekhindustani wrote: I think the author will be happy if the Govt.rolls back the price increase! 2:50 pm May 24, 2012 manoj wrote: @Anirban Roy and Paul Beckett : you may be right that about 50% households move on cycle .but even uoyupeople miss the fact that it will increase the price of every commodity which a common man uses.

Therefore govt has some role to play in raising only the petrol prices. Pranab Mukherjee suit, ties and lies! 3:32 pm May 24, 2012 montabb wrote: Yeah, right ..44.8% Households own bicycles. But wasn t it the same figure ten years ago in 2001. It was 43.7% in 2001 right?. In the same period households having a two wheeler almost doubled from 11.7% to 21.0%. If 21% of households are not aam aadmi, then who is? Petrol is up 2.35 times in the last ten years. By the way, many small businesses/shops have gensets so that aam admi can buy stuff from them and not from air conditioned Malls who survive on gensets. The difference is, small shop genset is petrol driven while mall genset is diesel driven .yeah right!!!!! 3:54 pm May 24, 2012 Aam aadmi (Mango Man) wrote: I don t know from where these biggie economist of our Great India has studied economics !!!A task given to an engineer or techno is engineered to required results.
