@DushyantADave Our Govt is pro-active only in electoral matters. It is solely reactive in all other matters of governance. Suitable announcements/actions will no doubt follow once the jaded folks at the helm have worked through the equations.

Nehru established JNU. Nirmala Sitharaman was a student of JNU. Hence, Nehru destroyed our economy.

It is crystal clear from data provided in the RTI above to me by Finance Ministry that oil bonds payments have NOTHING to do with fuel price hikes.

Despite low global oil prices, Govt is LYING & extorting Indians by heavily taxing petrol & diesel.

Where's this money going?

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Also, annual interest payments on oil bonds are 9989 crores

In Aug, MoS Petroleum Rameswar Teli told Parliament that govt's tax receipts on petrol+diesel jumped 88% to 3.35 lakh crore in 2021.

3.3 LAKH CRORE tax versus 9989 crore expenditure.

Who is @nsitharaman fooling?

[Saket Gokhale @SaketGokhale]

Exclusive:

Lies of @nsitharaman on fuel prices:

On 16 Aug, FM justified fuel price hikes by citing oil bonds & said "Significant amount is going for interest & principal repayment. What unfair burden on me."

BUT - RTI tells me NO PRINCIPAL REPAYMENT DONE SINCE FY2015-16.
