Ranchi flags fuel cash-back drive for two-wheeler users from Jan 26

Jharkhand finance minister Rameshwar Oraon has termed as historic the decision to give a cash-back of Rs 25 per litre on petrol for poor and lower-middle-class two-wheeler users from January 26.

“We are the first state in the country to execute such a historic decision for the poor and lower-middle-class residents owning two-wheelers. This despite the indifference on the part of the BJP-led central government to our repeated requests to pay our outstanding dues in terms of royalties and payments accrued on behalf of PSUs,” said the former Congress state president and a retired IPS officer.
