Cong to launch nationwide protest against high petrol tax
The Congress on Friday said it would launch a nationwide agitation on September 20 against the "draconian" increase in taxes on petrol and diesel, leading to a steep hike in their prices. Accusing the BJP government of "looting" the common people, Congress spokesperson Ajay Maken claimed that for every â¹100 of petrol, â¹51.78 were taxes.
