    Slowly but steadily Mr.Jaitely the lawyer turned finance minister feels Congress advice of single taxation is the only solution for the nation and for the business community after losing the three states.

    Finally, from 'Lahoo ka Lagan' on Sanitary napkin to electronics, Congress taxation seems worth for the government.

    1. When is Prime Minister Modi's BJP is going to bring the 'Petroleum products' under the Goods and Services Act?
    2. Where is the Rs11 lakh crores collected by the government on fuel taxation has gone?
    3. Why the low oil prices are not reaching the common Indians?
    4. Why the fuel prices in India is the highest in South East Asia?
    5. Why the oil processing companies have given the rights to manipulate the prices on a daily basis when the contract is signed by the Ministry of petroleum?

    BJP promised to waive electric bills in Gujrat after congress waived off farmers loan soon after assuming office. May be feeling election heat after a humiliating drubbing from 5 states out right. BJP, no use now, it's all over, even if you do head stand yoga till 2019 you are not going to win elections anymore.

    Mr. Jaitley,

    GST on battery for inverters or any batteries for vehicles is at 28%.

    Is it luxury and sin goods?

    Govt does not give continuous power hence people use inverters. Sin goods or luxury ?
