Hardeep Puri blames state govt over fuel price hike
Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and the Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, on September 23 blamed the state governments for the rise in fuel rates in the country. Briefing on the reason for the fuel price hike in India, the Union Minister said, "If your question is 'do you want the petrol prices to come down then the answer is 'yes'. Now, if your question is 'why the petrol prices are not coming down, then the answer is because the states don't want to bring it under GST."
On September 17, during the 45th meeting of the Goods and Service Tax Council Council (GST), Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed that subsuming the current excise duty and VAT into one national rate would impact revenues. She added, "The GST Council, keeping this factor in mind, felt now is not the time to bring Petrol and Diesel under GST."
