Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh in-charge of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Singh on Monday demanded the Central government to bring petrol and diesel under ambit of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and attacked the BJP government on rising prices of essential commodities.
Petrol and diesel are still under the old taxation system of VAT and are yet to be brought under the GST.
“The Centre has done precious little to bring down prices of petrol and diesel. Their prices are still very high. The Centre must bring petrol and diesel under the GST to control their price. Without doing this, prices of these two products cannot be controlled,” Singh told media persons.
