New Delhi, Mar 26 (IBNS): Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said he has asked Chief Ministers of different states to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and oppose the central government's proposal to levy excise duty on non-silver jewellery.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had proposed levying one percent excise duty on non-silver jewellery in his budget.
