@Priyaa_Purohit Funny meme! But it's cherry-picked & inaccurate. Let's compare UPA (2014) vs NDA (2025) fuel facts fairly (sources: EIA, Statista, RBI, IMF, PIB, Reuters, etc.). Crude Oil: Not $105.91—2014 avg Brent ~$99/bbl. 2025 avg so far ~$72/bbl (down from highs due to global factors like OPEC/wars). Russian Discount: 0% in 2014 (minimal imports). Now ~5% ($3-4 off Brent), not 20%—saved India ~$13B in imports since 2022. Ethanol Mix: ~1.5% in 2014 to 20% in 2025 (hit early)—cuts crude needs by 10-15%, saves ~$4B/yr forex, boosts farmers/emissions reduction. Petrol Price (Delhi): ₹72.26 in 2014 to ₹94.77 now. But cumulative CPI inflation ~70% (2014-2025)—adjusts 2014 price to ~₹123 today. So real terms, ~23% cheaper despite volatility. UPA's "Borrowed" Oil: Issued ₹1.41L cr oil bonds (2005-10) to subsidize fuel/hide deficits. NDA paid back ~₹3.5L cr (principal + interest) by 2022—extra ₹2L cr interest burden, forcing higher taxes to avoid debt spiral. PPP Context: GDP/capita PPP up from ~$5,780 (2014) to ~$12,130 (2025 est) that’s ~110% rise, meaning better wage/income growth vs fuel costs, improving affordability. NDA navigated globals better, cleared UPA's mess, made fuel cheaper in real/PPP terms via efficiencies. That’s why education is important because ppl like you cannot grow beyond memes! 😂😂😂😂
