Zee News
Flagging higher fuel prices in many opposition-ruled states, PM Modi had urged them to reduce VAT in "national interest" to benefit the common man.
New Delhi: Opposition-ruled states continue to blame the Centre over high fuel prices and pending GST compensation to several states and have accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of playing politics over the issues.
Commenting on Prime Minister’s appeal to opposition-ruled states to reduce VAT on fuel prices, Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar said, “We can discuss petrol-diesel prices in cabinet today. CM will tell us what happened in the meeting with the PM yesterday. Everyone in the country has to accept that import oil is taxed first by Centre & then states, so the Center should also reduce tax.”
