The 'Ramayana' of gas prices

For Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily, the announcement of a revised gas price with effect from April, 2014 has clearly been an epic struggle, given the fierce controversy that has developed around the issue. Talking informally to journalists after a press conference, he painstakingly explained the political and economic reasons for the steep price rise. When he finished, a journalist asked him all the questions he had set out in his explanation. This irritated Moily, who is from Karnataka, so much that he resorted to a familiar Hindi saying. "Poora Ram katha sunne ke baad, why are you asking about Sita's relationship with Ram?" he retorted in Hinglish (Why are you asking who Sita is after listening to the whole story of the Ramayana?).
