Centre reduced excise duty on fuels; reduce state taxes on them: Chandrasekhar to Kerala CM

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: (Mar 27) BJP state president Rajeev Chandrsekhar on Friday said that the Centre has reduced the special excise duty on petrol and diesel to help consumers and urged Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan to cut the state taxes on the fuels.

The BJP state chief also rejected the Congress and CPI(M) accusations against each other of having a deal with the saffron party, saying that "there is no such understanding".

He claimed that it was a narrative being created to divert attention from the BJP-led NDA's poll campaign based on development.
