Reduce taxes on petrol, diesel: Eswaran

The Central and State governments should reduce tax on petrol and diesel as the prices have skyrocketed to put the common man on hardship, Kongunadu Makkal Desiya Katchi general secretary E.R. Eswaran told reporters on the side lines of an event held here on Sunday. The cascading effect of the rise in prices of petrol and diesel was seen on essential commodities. To reduce the common man’s burden both the governments should cut taxes.
