In whose interest is the price of fuel oil reduced by 5 rupees?

The Dhaka Times Desk What is the message actually given by reducing the price of fuel oil by only 5 rupees? The question is in whose interest is the price of fuel oil reduced by 5 rupees?

In the context of our country, it is not customary to reduce the price of anything. However, the government wants to record the custom by reducing only 5 rupees? The question is in whose interest is the price of fuel oil reduced by 5 rupees?

After increasing the prices of diesel, petrol, octane and kerosene oil by around 46%, the government decided to reduce the price by Rs 5 per liter due to public protests and dissatisfaction. It has also been effective since last midnight. It is also a matter of thinking what will be the benefit of the people if this 5 rupees are reduced! Neither housing prices will decrease, nor the prices of goods will decrease. Transport owners will benefit in the middle!

People are in desperate condition today. Common people today are disoriented by the way in which the prices of daily necessities including transportation have increased. Maybe many ministers say that prices have increased in the outside world as well. But the context of our country is completely different. Because even if the price of oil rises in America, people still have purchasing power. The government of that country also provides various facilities and benefits to the people. But that kind of situation has not happened in our country yet. The number of underprivileged people in our country is high. The number of such people is high in our country. Moreover, the number of ordinary people is also not less. These people are disoriented today. They are fed up with these unbridled prices of daily necessities. But people's income has not increased. Only a few people in proportion to the population are government employees. They always have some privileges. Again, the government also provides them with various benefits including salaries and allowances. But we have to think about what is happening to the private sector and those who do not work today.

Most of the time the global economy is talked about when oil prices, electricity prices or gas prices increase. But in our country, the prices of goods that are not connected with the world economy increase overnight. For example, with the increase in the price of oil, the bus owners held a meeting and increased the price. But now there is no sign of reducing their prices. At present, as the prices of daily necessities including raw materials have increased, so have the prices of other items such as medicines. The prices of other items including body rub and cloth raw soap have also been increased. In a word, there is no thing whose price has not increased. In such a situation, common people are spending their days in great difficulty. If it continues like this, there will be a moan. So everything should be considered in time. One should think ten times before increasing the price of something. Because the responsibility lies with those who are in the government. The government that does not stand by people's happiness and sorrow, the acceptance of that government will also decrease. People are the source of all power - this must be remembered by all.
