If the cess tax is shared with the states, the GST will be levied on petrol and diesel. The Union Finance minister was not ready to accept the suggestion made by tamil Nadu Finance minister Palanivel Thiagarajan that it could be brought within the limits. Due to the stubbornness of the central government, the GST on petrol and diesel was reduced. Unable to bring within range.
Petrol for the fact that prime minister Modi's government has no compassion or humane feeling towards the people. The government has continued to carry out anti-people activities without fulfilling any of the promises made during its eight years in power. As a result, people continue to be hit hard by rising prices, the loss of farmers' livelihoods, the shutdown of industrial production, the loss of jobs and unemployment. And the number of people living in poverty is increasing. In this situation, the central bjp has been raising petrol and diesel prices on a daily basis for the past few days. The government is raising the stakes.
Petrol price has been hiked sharply to Rs 110.85 a liter and diesel to Rs 100.94 a liter. The bjp claims that the price of crude oil has risen in the international market. The reason says. But when the Congress-led coalition government ruled from 2004 to 2014, the price of crude oil in the international market was $ 108 a barrel. However, petrol was priced at Rs 71.41 per liter and diesel at Rs 55.49 per liter. This is because the excise duty on a liter of petrol was Rs 9.20 and Rs 3.46 on diesel. The Congress-led government provided a grant of Rs 1 lakh 47 thousand 25 crore in 2013-14 so as not to burden the people.
