Govt trying to cut fuel prices, but onus also on state govts: Smriti Irani
Union Minister Smriti Irani on Sunday said the Centre is trying its best to reduce fuel prices and the Rajasthan government should also do its part.
“While the Centre is trying its best to reduce the fuel prices, the Ashok Gehlot government in the state has enough allocation to reduce fuel prices. Now, it is up to him how much burden he wants to reduce on the people of the state,” Irani told reporters at a press conference here.
The Rajasthan government had recently reduced the value-added tax (VAT) rate by two per cent on petrol and diesel.
