Bengaluru: Siddaramaiiah, opposition leader in the Assembly, on Wednesday urged the state government to reduce gasoline and diesel sales of 50 percent and demand resolution at home to cut customs.
Starting the assembly debate about the increase in commodity prices, he said that the imposition of a lot of tax on fuel has caused cascading effects where prices rise.
“The state government has collected a large sales tax of 35 percent on gasoline and 24 percent on diesel.
Let it cut this tax by 50 percent.
Also, let’s pass the resolution asking for the center to reduce customs.
If the state government agreed to this.
, I will move the resolution, “said Siddaramaiiah.
The excise levies center from Rs 32.9 per liter on gasoline and Rs 31.8 on Diesel.
Siddarajayah said that the tax burden had become unbearable, claiming it was lower during the upa regime.
“It was no other stretching.
The price of fuel has reached the roof is not because the crude oil level has risen in the international market but because the state government and the center collecting taxes that are too high,” he said.
He tried to fight the central argument that connects the price for oil bonds issued during the era of the UPA.
“For the past seven years, the BJP Government (in the middle) has paid only Rs 70,000 Crore against Bond Interest and RS 3,500 Crore on two mature bonds.
On the other hand, it has collected a large amount of tax.
This has collected 1.2 lakh crore Excise taxes are only from Karnataka in seven years, “he said.
The former head of the minister said that neighboring Tamil Nadu has reduced sales tax amounting to Rs 3 and Karnataka must do the same.
The minister of previous affairs, law and parliamentary JC Madhuswamy made a decision about the discussion of fuel prices, by saying that the problem must be debated in parliament, and not in assembly, because it is a central subject.
“How can the state government be answered for the increase in fuel prices?” he says.
Health Minister K Sudhakar accused Siddaramaasi People who were misleading, by saying the UPA government first issued oil and government bonds today only tried out of chaos.
This causes the heated debate between the two parties.
While the MLAS Congress claims that they only tried to say the truth, BJP members blamed the Manmohan Singh government for price increases.
