PM Modi blames opposition over high fuel prices

It is a known fact that both the central and state governments blame each other for the rising fuel prices. In a significant development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday held the opposition responsible for high fuel prices.

PM Modi, while speaking in a meeting with the CMs of different states on the Coronavirus situation, called out Chief Ministers of the states which did not reduce taxes on fuel prices when the Centre did. The PM requested states to reduce VAT to bring down the fuel prices.

“To reduce the burden of rising fuel prices, central govt waived off taxes. Some states also reduced taxes, but others didn’t provide relief,” PM Modi said.

“I request those states to reduce VAT. This will help in cooperative federalism,” PM Modi added. He also called on the MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu and said that the prices of petrol in the state are very high and asked the states to reduce VAT.
