    JAMMU Tawi, Nov 6: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri today said, the reduction in Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel by the Government of J&K UTand excise duty by Union Government speaks of the fact that how sensitive  the government is towards common people and their issues.

    Raman Suri said, while Modi reduced excise duty on petrol and diesel, LG went a step ahead and reduced the Value Added Tax (VAT) on Petrol and Diesel by Rs 7, which gave a big relief to common masses.

    Now that the petrol price has been reduced by Rs.12/litre and Diesel by Rs.17/litre in the UT of Jammu and Kashmir, the decision has elated common people and at the same time silenced the critics. He added that this government is sensitive towards people’s issues and acts accordingly.
