Modi’s ‘surgical strike’ on opposition ruled states over fuel prices!

What was the main purpose of the meeting of the Prime Minister with the Chief Ministers of the states to consider the increasing cases of Corona virus? Did it consider the situation in Corona and discuss measures to prevent a possible new wave? Nothing like this happen because most states do not have corona cases. Many states have become completely free from Corona. In Uttar Pradesh too, new cases have increased in the districts adjacent to NCR. In Haryana also only in the districts adjacent to NCR have witnessed a rise. Apart from Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, most of the states have either no cases or few cases.

That is why it was astonishing that the Prime Minister called a meeting of Chief Ministers of all the states over Corona. By law, the meeting of the Prime Minister should have been held with the Chief Ministers of three or four states.

It has happened many times in the past that the Prime Minister held a meeting with the Chief Ministers of the states where there were more cases. But this time the Chief Ministers of all the states and the Lieutenant Governors and Administrators of the Union Territories were called, and that is why, it seems that PM’s aim was to put the states in the dock regarding VAT on petrol and diesel.

And one has to admit that it was a job well done. Now the state governments and the leaders of the opposition parties are giving clarification and asking the Center to reduce the tax, but the Prime Minister has sent the message to the people that the state governments with the opposition parties have not given relief to the common people by cutting VAT, while the Center And BJP ruled states gave relief.
