Chennai:
The centre should come forward to reduce its tax on petroleum products since the resources for state s own tax revenue is meagre, Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam told the Assembly on Saturday.
Mr Panneerselvam, pointing to accusations by the main opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) over the interim budget (2021-22), said a flawed view of holding the state government responsible for the petrol and diesel price rise, was being propagated. There is no iota of truth in such a view, he said, replying to the general discussion on budget.
