Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah said in Mumbai on Friday the Narendra Modi government was making efforts to reduce fuel prices, including bringing petrol and diesel under the goods and services tax (GST).

Shah addressed a big rally of party workers in Mumbai on the occasion of the BJP’s 38th foundation day. Later, addressing a press conference, Shah said petrol and diesel prices were still lower than those during the United Progressive Alliance’s (UPA’s) rule. “The government is trying to reduce the prices. Efforts are on to bring petrol and diesel under the GST,” he said.
