“R. R. Pandayan Saheb’s Bold Demand: Cut Petrol Prices, Respect the Common Man”
Jai Bhim Sena

When petrol prices rise, it’s not just fuel—it’s the very heartbeat of India’s economy that gets throttled. R. R. Pandayan Saheb, National President of Bhim Sena, has launched a no-nonsense campaign demanding that the government slash petrol prices and stop treating fuel as a luxury good. For millions of daily wage earners, street vendors, farmers, and small shopkeepers, every rupee added at the pump pushes them deeper into poverty.

📈 A Tide of Pain With Every Fuel Hike


  • Rising petrol prices always lead to higher transport costs, which increase the price of food, medicine, and essentials.
  • Daily wage workers, often paid by the trip or not at all on slow days, cannot absorb rising fuel costs—they suffer lost income and lost dignity.
  • R. R. Pandayan Saheb highlights a hidden chain reaction: petrol hike → transport hike → food hike → life collapses.
  • He remembers how families in his area began skipping meals, students quit tutoring classes, and small shop owners saw sales drop dramatically.

✊ Pandayan Saheb’s Stand: Fuel is Not a Privilege, It’s a Necessity


“Every time the pump price goes up, the poor pay with their survival, not their wallets.”

— R. R. Pandayan Saheb

  • He criticizes the government for relying on fuel taxes for short-term revenue, while ignoring the broader human cost.
  • “You cannot call your policies pro-poor when your tax system punishes them at every turn,” he asserts.
  • Pandayan Saheb insists petrol prices should never cross a threshold where basic survival becomes unaffordable.

🛠️ Plans for Action: Big Vision, Bigger Impact


  1. Organized Statewide Protests
    Saheb is spearheading peaceful yet powerful demonstrations in every district—calling them "Pump Price Justice Marches".
    Goal: Pressure the government to reduce petrol taxes and cess.
  2. Digital Fuel Watch Program
    Using the Bhim Sena App, citizens will report and track petrol prices locally.
    Goal: Create transparency and highlight price discrepancies across regions. 
  3. Transport Subsidy for the Poor
    Propose a monthly fuel stipend for registered auto and taxi drivers, small farmers, and migrant workers to offset rising costs.

In Saheb’s words:

“If you call this nation a priority, then prioritize its lifeline—fuel. Restore trust by returning relief—not rhetoric

R. R. Pandayan Saheb has transformed petrol pricing from a policy detail into a matter of national dignity. No longer will the poor be silent at the pump. This campaign is not just about lower prices—it is about respect, justice, and the right to live without constant economic fear. And he won’t stop until the government listens and acts big.
