They bleed you dry at the pump, then vanish when you actually need fuel.

Right now, in april 2026, both andhra pradesh and telangana are charging some of the highest petrol prices in india — ₹109+ per litre in ap, ₹107-108 in Telangana. You’re paying premium rates while the rest of the country laughs. Yet the moment you roll up to a petrol station, most pumps are dead. No stock. Diesel? Forget it — it’s virtually vanished across huge stretches of both states.

Long queues snake down highways. “No Stock” boards hang like surrender flags. auto drivers, farmers, transporters, and daily commuters are left sweating in the sun while civil supplies departments issue the same tired statement: “No shortage, just panic buying, ignore rumours.”

Bullshit.

These are the same governments that never miss a chance to slap extra taxes, cess, and surcharges on every litre. They’re lightning fast when it comes to filling their coffers. But when it comes to basic governance — ensuring steady supply, cracking down on hoarding, or simply keeping pumps running — they’re nowhere to be seen.

Here’s the savage reality:

- Highest fuel taxes in the south → check  
- Empty diesel tanks across districts → check  
- Civil supplies department MIA while people suffer → double check  

This isn’t a “temporary glitch.” It’s the same old story: squeeze the common man at every step, collect the cash, then disappear when the system they’re supposed to run actually needs to work.

Telugu pride? Development model? Spare us. When you’re paying India’s top petrol rates and still can’t fill your tank, it’s not governance — it’s daylight robbery followed by total abandonment. And the worst part? They think we’ll just keep quiet and keep paying.
