India did not saved a penny, its Ambani who made billions by re-selling the Oil to Europe. People of India did not get any discount on oil prices they pay.

其实印度没有省下一分钱，安巴尼将石油转售给欧洲赚了数十亿美元。印度人民在购买汽油时没有得到任何折扣。

印度以折扣价购买原油，但普通民众加油，价格还是没有变。为什么？利润被谁吃了?

Common man understands why feul price is high in non-bjp ruled states. Feel prices are in the hands of state-governments nit central. Congress ruled states deliberately keep the excise duty high on feul to make it tough for people of the state and then blame Modi.

普通人明白为什么在非人民党统治的邦燃料价格高。石油价格是由中央政府控制的。国大党统治的各邦故意对燃料征收高消费税，让该邦人民生活艰难，然后指责莫迪。

Rinku Singh

Shreemaanji Modi hai to mumkin haiji! We are very proud to have Shreemaanji Modi as our PM. Shreemaanji ki Jai Jaikaar Ho!

莫迪万岁！我们非常自豪有莫迪担任总理。印度必胜！

Many times in recent years I have wondered if Indians would have grown a lot richer than they actually have if Newspapers did not publish News.

近年来，我多次在想，如果报纸不发布新闻，印度人是否会比现在富裕得多。

It is rare - to correctly predict the results of an economic or - political policy decision. speaking in general terms. PM Modi Ji has been doing the almost impossible of taking the excactly correct economic and politicla decisions on each major aspect of Bharat. If we have him as PM for one more term in 2024 Bharat will reach a never before level of world prominence and prosperity at home.

准确预测一项经济或政治政策决定的结果是很罕见的。一般来说。莫迪总理在印度的每个主要方面都做出了完全正确的经济和政治决定。如果他在2024年连任总理，印度将达到前所未有的繁荣水平，获得前所未有的世界声望。

The word "cheap" in the title does not relate to the common man of the country.

“廉价”石油与这个国家的普通人无关。

Petrol prices are generally high in non BJP ruled states because of higher VAT collected by state govts. Excise is collected be centre.

在非人民党统治的邦，汽油价格普遍较高，因为邦政府征收更高的增值税。消费税由中央征收。

Since our country depends on imported petrol and diesel etc people must be urged to restrict its utilization. Since our country has a poor traffic system, invariably, we will be wasting Petroleum products because of slow driving due to traffic jams, signal points, time barred old vehicles, etc. Effects must be taken to minimize the above deficiencies to save precious foreign exchange money. Of course, effort is being taken to shift to electric vehicles, and it should be made available at afford ..

我国依赖进口汽油和柴油等，应该限制民众使用这些燃料。我们国家的交通系统落后，信号灯、旧车等导致的交通堵塞而浪费石油。必须采取措施尽量减少上述不足，以节省宝贵的外汇。当然，人们正在努力转向电动汽车

lots of comments about not getting petrol at cheap prices..... Unfortunately, people don't understand that the nation needs money to buy military hardware, infrastructure developments, highways,railways, bridges etc.

看到很多关于不能以便宜价格买到汽油的评论。不幸的是，人们不明白国家需要钱来购买军事装备、建设基础设施、高速公路、铁路、桥梁等。

And how much of that is benefitting the end user ? Price of Petrol stands at 100 in all cities across India.

终端用户能享受多少好处？印度所有城市的汽油零售价格都达到100。

但贪婪的莫迪不给普通人带来任何好处。不降低燃料价格，把普通人从高通胀中拯救出来。莫迪只知道拉仇恨，不理解别人的痛苦。
