Subsidies kill, but are less murderous than political intentions
August 4, 2014
The government\'s idea to get people to voluntarily forgo their LPG subsidy as an exercise in "nation building" has raised peoples\' hackles. The SMS from oil companies says, "Want to join Nation Building? It\'s simple - just give up LPG subsidy." Now if only the minister or the prime minister had said, "I am giving up my LPG subsidy. Join me in nation building"

The Union Government wants me to forgo my subsidy of around Rs500 per LPG cylinder.
