Petrol and Diesel Prices Reduced in Rajasthan

Petrol and diesel prices have been reduced from today in Rajasthan. While the central government announced a reduction of petrol and diesel by Rs 2 per litre across the country, the state government reduced it by Rs 1.34 to Rs 5.30 per litre. The new rates have come into effect from 6 am today.

Before the Lok Sabha elections, on Thursday, the state’s people got the double gift of a double-engine government. Chief Minister Bhajanalal Sharma has given great relief to the people of the state by reducing the rates of petrol and diesel. The VAT rate on petrol and diesel has been reduced by 2%. Petrol rates in the state will be reduced by Rs 1.40 to Rs 5.30. Whereas diesel rates will be reduced by Rs 1.34 to Rs 4.85.

Petrol and diesel will be available at the same rate in all the districts including Jaipur.

The biggest benefit from this decision will be in the border districts of the state. The state government has decided that now the rate of petrol and diesel in Jaipur will be the same in all the districts. Till now, there are different rates of petrol and diesel in the border districts. The decision was taken in a state cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhajan Lal on Thursday.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, while talking to journalists after the meeting, said that there were discrepancies in the rates of petrol and diesel in Rajasthan. They have been turned away. Earlier the rates were different in the districts and in the state itself there was a difference of up to Rs 5 per litre in the rates of petrol and diesel.

The most expensive diesel was in the border districts. Due to this, sales of petrol pumps in border areas were decreasing. To provide relief to people from inflation, VAT has been reduced by 2%. The state government has fulfilled the guarantee of PM Narendra Modi by reducing the rates of petrol and diesel. Reducing the rates will put an additional burden of Rs 1,500 crore on the government.

We do what we say

While announcing a reduction in prices and other works, CM said that the state government is making its plans keeping in mind the needs of the next 20 to 25 years. This will make the state a developed and leading state. If we compare the work of the previous Congress government in the state during the last three months and that of our government now, then there will be a difference. We do what we say and fulfil the promises made to the public. They will complete their promises on time. The people of the country have full faith in the Prime Minister.
