Sanjay Dutta, Times of India
The backlash against Wednesday's increase in petrol price is government's own making, even as heads of state-run fuel retailers on Thursday tried to mollify sentiments by hinting at a reduction by month-end. The oil ministry did not allow the oilmarketers to raise pump price of petrol since January for fear of stoking popular anger ahead of polls in five key states. This led under-recovery on the fuel to pile up.

Verbatim |
 The UPA 2 government was conceived in corruption – and never really recovered from that taint. Right from the day the election results came in, the back-channel negotiations began for the reappointment of A Raja as Telecom Minister to advance the interests of certain telecom majors (in return for illegal gratification). It was an enterprise which set the stage for India’s biggest corruption scandal and virtually set the political tone for the rest of the four years. As subsequent exposes have established, Manmohan Singh and other key Ministers knew full well that mischief was afoot, but pointedly looked the other way. That was the beginning of the slide, and the UPA government in general – and Manmohan Singh in particular – was mortally wounded from that episode. But rather than press ahead with remedial action, the government slid further into the cesspool of corruption.
