India’s most expensive petrol is being sold in Ganganagar in the state, where the price of petrol is now 101.84 and diesel is 93.77 rupees.
The public is very upset with the rising prices of petrol and people are demanding to reduce the prices of petrol diesel. At the same time, the opposition is also continuously accusing the government, but now the owners of petrol pumps are also demanding to reduce the prices of petrol. In such a situation, the petrol pump owners have called for a strike and the petrol pump owners of Rajasthan will be on a one-day symbolic strike on 10 April 2021.

Even after this, if their demand is not met, they will remain on indefinite strike from 25 April 2021. In such a situation, it can be very difficult for people.
Now you must be thinking that even though petrol pump owners earn from petrol, why are they demanding to reduce the prices of petrol. Let’s know what is the whole matter?
What is the demand of petrol pump owners?
Actually, petrol prices have increased significantly due to the high VAT incurred in Rajasthan. The special thing is that the prices of petrol in the neighboring states of Rajasthan are much lower than in Rajasthan, in which the petrol pump owners are suffering a lot. The association says that due to this, the business of petrol pump of the boarder areas of Rajasthan has come to a complete standstill, because people are filling petrol from the neighboring state. At the same time, it is having a great impact in other areas of the state as well.
In such a situation, petrol pump owners are demanding to reduce VAT, so that not only the public can get cheaper petrol, but also their business can grow. Simply put, the impact of rising prices is also studying the business of petrol pumps, in such a situation, the pump owners are demanding that VAT be reduced so that their business can also run when the price of petrol is reduced. Along with the pump, owners demand that there should be a single rate at the state level.

Bhageria says that the farmer brothers of this area are also having a lot of difficulties and reducing VAT is also a benefit for the public.
