No cheaper today all prices are costlier State or Central Govt. nothing monitor this what to do!! more  
Prices of petrol & diesel have already broken the all time records touching Rs.85/- a litre (petrol) and Rs.75/- a litre of diesel in Mumbai. Similarly, the prices of cashew nuts are around Rs.1000 to Rs.1100 a KG. Probably, Jaitley things that the items, prices of which have been hiked, are used only by the billionaires like him and are luxurious! more
