Fuel Price Amit Shah hails PM Modi for reducing excise duty on petrol, diesel
New Delhi/UNI: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for slashing central excise duty on petrol and diesel.
"By lowering the excise duty on petrol and diesel by Rs 5 and 10 respectively, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has given a big relief to the common people on Diwali. This relief is a very sensitive decision despite the surge in the prices (crude oil) at the international level. I thank Modi ji for this," said Shah in a series of tweets.
Calling it a 'Diwali gift' by the PM to the countrymen, Shah said, "It will not only give relief to the general public but will also reduce inflation."
मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में भाजपा की प्रदेश सरकारों ने भी पेट्रोल और डीजल के दामों में और कमी करके जनता तक और अधिक राहत पहुँचाने का सराहनीय कार्य किया है।
