Union minister of state for petroleum and natural gas Rameswar Teli on Saturday said that the price for the vaccines is being collected by levying taxes on diesel and petrol. He also said that the price of fuel is not that high when the taxes levied is factored in.
“Fuel prices aren’t high but include the tax levied. You must’ve taken a free vaccine, where will the money come from,” Teli was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. “You haven’t paid the money, this is how it was collected,” Teli said.
