BTW : the news channels discussions on farmers suicide seem like Peepli live, with a twist. Part 2 perhaps.

Prices of petrol and diesel have been de-regulated.

But additionally there are other parameters also. Dont have exact details on my fingers but can give a pointer.
In around 2009 the excise on crude was decreased from some 14.78% to 9.48.x% to control the fuel prices in domestic market. International prices of Brent crude were about $130 that time.
Recently 2 -3 months back when crude fell down to about $35 the Govt again increased the excise to about 14.x %.(Jan 2, 2015) Also there was some other surcharge which was increased 25%. Due to this the Govt was getting additional revenue of about 94k CR p.a. and oil companies were also getting a little more profit to make up for the losses. Also when Govt subsides fuel it does not pay the oil companies in cash. It issues them bonds.
In investment world there has to be a limit for any type of investment to control the risk. So oil companies already have tons of bonds. They are not really interested in more.
Apart from that state govt also increased local taxes and even the fuel pump owners increased their commission.
So you see how everything has a cascading effect on the end consumer's (our) pockets.
All this information is not correct to the last digit but this is what I recall of all the news articles I have read in the recent past. If anyone is interested in the details at a clinical level you can always do a little google search. All these facts are public and have been in news recently.
Even after so much of reasoning If we compare the ratio between international prices of Brent crude to domestic fuel prices then when crude was say $40 then petrol in Delhi should have cost about Rs50 or so.
So yes the prices did not come down as it should have but not all of that benefit has been wasted or gone in the pockets of politicians or oil companies.
Most of it went to the Govt treasury and someday (BIG HOPEFULLY) that money will be used for us in return :)

Apparently I was just reading about the decrease in demand for licenses of new petrol pumps yday or day b4 yday and it mentioned that the fuel consumption has gone down YoY. Could be due to the fact that this time last year the nation was busy in general elections.

Some Links if interested
1) Increase in the exise duty
2) From Telegraph - Multiple excise hikes.
3) In India Tax is increasing not the Fuel price.
4) India pumps up fuel taxes as crude prices fall.

Also saw on FB a cartoon of one croc telling the other stop shedding Ashutosh tears :D
lolz[DOUBLEPOST=1429887301][/DOUBLEPOST]It seems that the victims family had a close door meeting with AAP leader and the same family which was blaming AK in morning is now soft and says they are convinced AAP did try to soothe the victim....
No idea what deal went thru behind the closed doors but looks like definitely some cash and govt jobs are on the plate.
The victims family is also demanding a "Shahid memorial" to be built for the victim.
wah....
Now the govt shd build a "shahid smarak" for every person who commits suicide.

what i think is that the so called 'farmer' didnt intend to commit suicide, maybe it was just his way of getting some publicity by climbing up a tree and tying a rope around his neck, but it was his bad luck that maybe he slipped while performing this stunt and died.
Coming to the other conspiracy theories he maybe just an individual trying to get some publicity, he maybe planted by the BJP or Congress to embarrass AAP, or he maybe planted by AAP itself to embarrass BJP goverment
 
Too sad to see farmers situation and the way its been handled by the govt.

To me the worst part is giving compensation to deceased. Agree, it helps the family but don`t it motivate others to go ahead commit suicide?

Are you serious?

It was a drama created by aap for attention which gone horribly wrong?

Do you understand that muflerwal is a drama queen? Do you know that he didn't even stop rally event after the death of the man? Do you realize what kind of man will keep the rally going on? Do you know that he didn't speak a word on the dead man for 2 days? Do you think it's only responsibility of only police, to save a man if he is trying to hang himself on tree, and onlookers were only clapping for him? Encouraging him? Do you know that kejriwal was only meters away from the tree? He couldn't go and tell his Asshole supporters to stop this ****ing nonsense immidiately?

It was a clear drama, and why one should create a drama for news rooms? Kejriwal should be hanged from same tree, because he is a freaking liar and Complete jerk
