Stating that the skyrocketing fuel prices under the Congress government had caused immense hardship to the people of Rajasthan, Puri asserted that the BJP was committed to bringing relief to the common man. He attributed the current high petrol prices to the state government’s excessive taxation policies.
The Congress government has imposed a VAT (value-added tax) of 30% on petrol, which is the highest in the country. This has led to an unbearable burden on the people of Rajasthan, Puri remarked.Source:-zee newsHe further claimed that the BJP, if elected, would reduce the VAT on petrol to 20%, resulting in an immediate reduction of u20b911.80 per litre in the fuel price. This move, he emphasized, would not only ease the financial strain on the public but also boost economic activity in the state.

Whether the BJP’s promise can translate into reality remains to be seen, but it has undoubtedly injected a new dimension into the upcoming Rajasthan Assembly elections. The party’s ability to deliver on this commitment will play a crucial role in determining its electoral fate.Share your views in the comments
