What they do to lure the common man
The government reduced petrol prices by around 5 bucks before the election. And now, just after they got elected again, price is up!

You can't do much! you bring this Govt down and put a new one, probability is that they'll do something similar, if not for petrol then for some other commodity. Where's the end to this? when people of our age get into politics? looking at the current state, you, subbu, sidd (probably) and I are already aversive to politics, there'll surely be more people like us, the rest will be bought by some corporation for some fancy sum of money or on-site opportunities. Heh, better luck next generation perhaps?
well,
its hard to blame the govt when the resource we are talking about is essentially imported. Right now, I'm not fully posted about the on goings in the commodity market, but price of oil is the most crucial thing to the development of the economy and I believe that in India, we must ensure that the price of oil is proportional and as variable as the international market to ensure that the demand rises and falls on cues of price.
any regulation can bring about a false sense of security, hurting India in the long run.
That said, taxes in India make oil too expensive and oil happens to be the redbull of the economy... SO, we need all we can get for this game..
@Adithya,
My point is not against the rise or fall of prices. It's about the "timing". It's no coincidence!
They reduced the oil prices a lot of time after the world crude oil price dropped. They waited till the last moment before elections, reduced the price to gain the trust of the common man. And then drove it back up as soon as they got re-elected!
This whole thing was just a game to get votes!
