Centre Happy To Bring Fuel Under GST, If States Support: Hardeep Puri
Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Puri has said that the Central Government would be happy to bring petroleum and diesel under GST, but that the states are not willing. Puri insisted that the government is taking responsibility, and suggested that the states should also try, and cut down the value-added taxes on fuel. He also chalked up the oil price hike to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
