The news
The Centre is unlikely to increase prices of fuel despite a global spike in crude prices. A meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, finance minister P Chidambaram and oil minister Murli Deora, on Monday, is believed to have taken this decision as hike in domestic fuel prices could harm UPA’s poll prospects in a likely mid-term poll. Instead, the meeting decided to issue oil bonds to bail out oil companies facing a liquidity crunch. (75 words, everything clearly told)

Monday saw the Trimurti of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, finance minister P Chidambaram and petroleum minister Murli Deora audit collateral damage from the global spike in crude prices. But with election on the horizon, an increase in retail prices is a almost a no-no. Instead the Cabinet may take up the issue of oil bonds this week to ease the oil companies liquidity crunch.
[64 more words (total 96) and I am still not sure whether they are going to hike the fuel price. And where did those bears get off?]
His potion is indeed poison for the reader!
