New Delhi: Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala teased that the nation does not need jumlas as the Centre decided to reduce the central excise duty of Rs 5 on petrol and Rs 10 on diesel, a day before Diwali. Surjewala slammed the Centre on Wednesday through a series of tweets which mocked the ruling party on loss on by-polls and comparisons on taxes.
‘Kudos to People for showing the ‘mirror of truth’ to tax-parasitic Modi Govt! But do remember – In May 2014, Price of Petrol was Rs 71.41 – Diesel was Rs 55.49/litre but Crude Oil was $105.71/Barrel. Crude Oil is $82/Barrel today. When will the prices equate year 2014?’, Surjewala penned on his twitter handle.

Central Government announced a reduction in excise duty on petrol and diesel, and urged State Governments to reduce VAT on petrol and diesel to give relief to consumers. The excise duty on petrol will be reduced by Rs 5 and that on diesel by Rs 10 and new rates will come into effect from tomorrow.
