Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday flagged the issue of high fuel prices in some opposition-ruled states and urged these states to cut tax on petrol and diesel to provide relief to consumers." I request states to reduce VAT on fuel prices in the spirit of cooperative federalism," the PM said during the concluding remarks of his interaction with chief ministers over rising Covid cases in the country. The Prime Minister said that the Centre had reduced excise duty last November to ease fuel prices and had also advised states to cut taxes. "To reduce the burden of rising petrol and diesel prices, the central government reduced the excise duty last November. We had urged the states too to reduce their taxes. Some states reduced the tax and provided benefits to the consumers but some didn't do so," said PM Modi. However, it was mostly the BJP-run states which slashed VAT by different margins last year, taking a cue from the Centre. The Aam Aadmi Party government in Delhi did it much later.
