50 WPM CRASH COURSE

DAY 7

I think, the House, in its collective wisdom

has taken the decision to take things forward
by auctioning natural resources. There may be
some difference of views on certain issues.
But, broadly, it is a collective decision.
Therefore, it is also one of the things that is
spelt out in the Budget. I think, this will go a
long way in clearing the air and bringing in
more transparency in governance. Sir that is
exactly what the entire House will agree that
there is no difference of opinion between the
Government and the Opposition. We want a
progressive India which brings in equality and
reduce the kind of discrepancies which exist in
our system today.
 Sir, the Government, I would say, has also
been lucky. Since it took over the Office, the
Government has got a favourable tailwind. It
has got a scenario where the international oil
prices came down sharply. They came down
to astoundingly low level of US$ 50 or so. It is
almost a reduction of about 55 per cent. That
has helped the Government; it helped the
country. I don’t want just to say that it has
helped only the Government. Ultimately, lower
fuel prices have helped the Indian economy.
Indian economy gets helped; it helped every
person who is connected with the country.
Therefore, it has resulted in lower fuel prices,
though the Government has not, genuinely,
passed on the impact of lower fuel prices to
the people. While claiming that you have been
reducing the prices of diesel and petrol - - I
think, it is not your claim; it is because the
international prices have come down - - but
you have increased the excise duty. On that
count, you have, actually, not passed on the
benefits of lower fuel prices to the people of
the country. But, having said that, I think, it is
still one of the good things that has happened.
It will eventually help the Indian economy to
grow in the years to come. Sir, there has been
some change in the methodology of
computing how the GDP grows. Suddenly, the
base years has been changed. So, economy,
which was growing at 5 per cent and would
have grown to 6 per cent this year, suddenly,
is now going to grow up to 8 per cent. So, this
is only by changing the base year.
