00:00Let's give you my take on the fuel. You saw what that story said.
00:04Fuel prices, my friends, are now like the famous Hindi film villain Ajit in the film Zanjeer and his famous
00:11dialogue.
00:12Liquid jeene nahi deta, oxygen marne nahi deta.
00:16Step-by-step hikes, drip-by-drip pain.
00:20Not enough to trigger outrage in one go, but to slowly bleed the common citizen dry.
00:27Inflation by stealth, it appears, is the new normal.
00:31Let's be honest, the hikes are inevitable given the surge in global crude prices.
00:36But two nagging questions remain.
00:39Are fuel prices being dictated by market conditions or by election calendars?
00:44Because if so, why were fuel prices not hiked in the months of March and April?
00:50And secondly, and this question will continue to be asked,
00:53Why was the benefit of low global crude prices never passed on to us, the middle class consumers of this
01:01country?
01:01Net-net, whoever is in power at the center of the states needs to show greater transparency when it comes
01:08to fuel prices.
01:10Think about it.
