Former Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, MLA, has lashed out at the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government for misleading people by making false statements with regard to the reduction of fuel taxes.
In a statement here on Sunday, Mr. Chandy said the government had not cut the taxes by even a paisa to match a reduction announced by the Union government. “When fuel prices went up during the tenure of the previous United Democratic Front (UDF) government, the increased taxes were waived off on four occasions to give the people a total relief worth ₹619.17 crore. This is what we expect from the present government as well,’‘ he said.
