Fuel Hike is now an activity that is like any other day to day activity. That's why people have not seen any roads protesting against the hike. Is this a cold reaction as media propagated or the reality is different on the ground? Whatever is the scenario but one important thing which is visible is that the BJP led govt has been able to dilute the impact of the price hike.
