Modi is indeed to blame. GST regime came during his tenure, he failed to incorporate that.Ya'll Nibbiars Fuel under GST state funds will be hurt. Aur Fascist ki sazish GOI unable to bring it under the GST. Maut ka saudagar. And sadly many of this are from Kerala, Tamil Naidu, Karnataka, Delhi. And also few from Andhra pradesh, Bengal, Maharashtra, UP.
The comment are lits.
Minister is just fooling the common persons.
If the intention of the Govt was to lower the fuel prices and give relief to common man, then they would have done it without such GST council meet 'formalities' which is actually a hogwash, at least for fuel price consideration under GST. Even if they bring it under GST regime, please do not expect any reasonable relief. May be 3-5 rupees at the max...thank UP election for that.
The above break up of fuel prices in Delhi tells you how the central taxes have made the mockery of deregulated prices. For folks who think states are the ones who oppose GST for the sake of it, no one wants to let go off the cash cow, be it anyone. However, please note the share of taxes for both petrol and diesel.
While the excise duties remain almost same for both petrol and diesel, it’s the diesel which attracts less VAT than petrol in Delhi. The price difference remains more than ₹10 and should help the commercial sector. Many states have reduced the VAT component to at least provide some respite but the same cannot be said about the excise part. Meanwhile, we continue to pay higher prices in which the tax component is actually more than the product itself- almost a diamond-water paradox.
Most of them think Modi is to blame.
Even if I accept it to be a necessary compromise to pass the bill, the huge fuel cess that constitutes a major part pof the price to the consumer, is unacceptable especially when whole nation is reeling under the sky high rise of fuel prices. It is not only middle class who gets impacted, but every single societal sector. Remember that the Govt didn't pass on the reduction in prices when fuel prices were at all time low.
Had there been a worthwhile opposition who could string two words together, BJP's ass would have been on fire. Modi is a lucky guy who faced only nincompoop's in his opposition 7 years straight!
