Cruel joke: Here is how Twitterati reacted to petrol price cut faux pas

Social media users had a field day after petrol and diesel prices were cut by just one paisa after 16 days of hikes, and that too moments after a false '60 paise cut' announcement made headlines

A "technical glitch" on the website of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) led to a huge criticism of the government on Wednesday. 

IOCL had on Wednesday posted a reduction of 60 paise in petrol prices but later clarified that the prices had come down by only 1 paisa and that the previous figure was posted due to a "technical glitch". 

Petrol and diesel prices have been sailing northwards for the past two weeks and Wednesday was the first time that the prices were cut. However, the quantum of reduction of one paisa rattled the common man and Opposition parties alike.
