Govt. earns ₹5,000 cr. a year from local taxes on fuel: Satheesan
United Democratic Front legislators cycled to the Assembly on Wednesday in a symbolic protest against the Left Democratic Front (LDF) Government’s refusal to slash State tax on fuel.
They later walked out of the House, accusing the State Government of “tax terrorism.”
In his walkout speech, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan, said the Government earned ₹5,000 crore annually from local taxes. However, it was brazenly unwilling to cut local levy on petrol and diesel to help the common folk weighed down by the COVID-19 pandemic.
