Why the fuel prices are soaring?

I cannot understand why the government cannot bring down fuel prices though the prices in internationnal market have been marginally down. Is the UPA gogernment is trying to raise election fund from the fuel money or is it trying to fill the loss of revenue due to the subsidy on petroleum products?

अवधूत गुप्ते

अवधूत गुप्ते अभिमानाने म्हणत असतो मी शिवसैनिक आहे म्हणून. मग शिवसेनेने त्याच्या सिनेमाला संरक्षण का नाही दिले? सेनेने गुप्तेला म्हणायला हवे होते की तू तुझा सिनेमा आहे तसाच प्रदर्शित कर. आम्ही तुझ्या पाठीशी उभे राहू. मग कोण नारायण राणे आहे ते पाहून घेऊ. पण इथे सेनाच राणेंना घाबरते त्याचे काय?
