What’s preventing State from slashing VAT on petrol, diesel, asks Veerraju
The Hindu
‘YSRCP government has been slinging mud on the Centre right from day one’
BJP State president Somu Veerraju said on Sunday that the government’s financial position was in shambles.
Instead of taking the necessary course corrections, it resorted to mud-slinging on the Centre, which was evident from the “false claims” made by it with regard to VAT on petrol and diesel, among other things, Mr. Veerraju said while addressing the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) State office- bearers meeting here.
He insisted that the State government had the scope to reduce the local tax on petrol and diesel in the wake of the Centre effecting a cut in the excise duty, but it cited various excuses for not doing a thing that was in its domain.
