The prices of fuel and LPG gas has increased by more than 40% in last few months. This is huge burden on the common man as the prices of essential commodities, transport etc. also have gone up. It's high time the government reduces the excise duty and other taxes on Fuel and Gas to the benefit of one billion people. If the central government reduces taxes and frame guidelines for the state government to also reduce the local taxes, then the prices can be optimized.
