The state government's announcement to reduce VAT on petrol by Rs 2.08 per litre and on diesel by Rs 1.44 per litre on Monday sparked fresh battle between the Maha Vikas Aghadi and BJP. The MVA partners, including Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress, strongly defended the government's Imove while the finance department claimed it would lead to an annual revenue loss of Rs 2,500 crore by the state government.
However, leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis (BJP) on Monday termed it as "absolute cheating" and said the ruling dispensation in the state should immediately slash the fuel prices without "fooling the people" anymore. The reduction in price as claimed by the state government is a natural result of the Centre's decision to cut down excise duty on fuel, he noted.
