Quite a pathetic situation for my country folk to land in !.
The Government of the day, led by a Great visionary and an Economist PM rolls out a blue print for revised Gas Pricing. Eureka !.
He approves a doubling of existing of the existing gas price to $8.4 per mmbtu on June 28. Is he naive to Economics, his perceived area of strength ?.
Now the Cat is out of the bag !. His so called generals from the FM have woken up to the great truth that private entities like RIL , would laugh all the way to the bank, draining the blood of mine and yours. The FM now sends an advisory or a note to Petroleum Ministry. This from a Man ( My PM and our PM )who lorded over reforms and finance ministry. He would envisage a spending of a 1,25,000 crores per annum on Food Security but at the same divert more than that to the Corporate Giants in terms of Gas pricing.
The technical outputs or info on KG D6 , is well documented and available in the domain of the public. What is the contracted output and the actual output ?.. Poor to be made poorer and the stinking rich to be made richer !. On what grounds ?.. They had 'technical difficulties' forget the day to day ordeal of the Common Man.
The ambassadors of the 'HMV' (Her Madam's Voice) , attribute everything to the oft-repeated 'Global Crisis'. I pity Mr.Sanjay Jha , for leveraging his best but debatable repertoire for saving the skin of his political masters.
We the people of our proud Motherland feel it is high time you buck up or leave the scene.
I personally thank media like "The Hindu", for their objective editorial which has nailed you in your face. I also do not endorse media like the shouting brigade on certain TV channels. Mine be taken as a balanced and a realistic view too.
' There be a cap under the new gas pricing formula'.. A line borrowed from the editorial from my newspaper...
When media comments, you tend to state that this media lobby is getting on to your skin, else crow that it is a trial by the media.
High time we understand that the media is the only saving grace in the present situation.
God save our Motherland !
