Blames Centre for increase in petrol, diesel prices
Adviser (Public Affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said that the YSRCP government is revealing the facts to avoid the misconception among people over the slash in fuel prices.
Addressing a press conference at the party central office here, Mr. Reddy said that it was not fair to demand the State to slash the fuel prices, as it was the Centre that increased petrol and diesel prices. Escalating fuel prices had resulted in drastic increase in prices of essential commodities, which resulted in burning the pockets of common people.
He said that the Union government had been receiving over ₹3,35,000 crore every year through various cess and surcharges. The excise duty was only ₹47,500 crore of which ₹19,475 crore went to States and the remaining ₹3,15,525 crore went directly to the Centre.
