In the month of December 2021, the Delhi government decided to reduce the Value-Added Tax (VAT) on petrol, bringing down the price of the fuel in the city by about Rs 8 per litre. The decision was taken in a meeting of the Delhi cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The fuel rates in the rest of the country have remained the same ever since the central government slashed excise duty on petrol and diesel. Petrol and diesel prices fell dramatically in numerous states in the month of November 2021, as additional states announced Value-Added Tax (VAT) cuts in response to the Centre's decision to reduce fuel excise tax. Petrol currently costs Rs 95.41 per litre in Delhi and Rs 109.98 per litre in Mumbai as a result of the price decrease. In Kolkata, it is now Rs 104.67 a litre, and in Chennai, it is Rs 101.51 per litre. In Gurugram petrol is Rs 95.72 and diesel Rs 86.93 per litre; Noida petrol Rs 95.36 and diesel Rs 86.87 per litre; Jaipur petrol Rs 106.73 and diesel Rs 90.40 per litre; Lucknow petrol Rs 95.33 and diesel Rs 86.85 per litre. Diesel prices have also dropped significantly as a result of the Centre's and states' tax reduction. It is now 86.67 rupees a litre in Delhi, 89.79 rupees in Kolkata, 94.14 rupees in Mumbai, and 91.53 rupees in Chennai. The Centre's cut in excise tax, followed by reductions in VAT in various states, has resulted in a dramatic decline in petrol and diesel rates after they had hit an all-time high. While some analysts believe that petrol and diesel prices will continue to climb as global crude oil prices rise, the recent price drop is likely to give much-needed respite to residents and businesses. It should be mentioned that the national government declared an excise duty drop of Rs 5 per litre for petrol and Rs 10 per litre for diesel on the eve of Diwali 2021. Following the Centre's decision, various states, including Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Mizoram, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Bihar, have reduced VAT on fuel prices.

In the month of December 2021, the Delhi government decided to reduce the Value-Added Tax (VAT) on petrol, bringing down the price of the fuel in the city by about Rs 8 per litre. The decision was taken in a meeting of the Delhi cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The fuel rates in the rest of the country have remained the same ever since the central government slashed excise duty on petrol and diesel. Petrol and diesel prices fell dramatically in numerous states in the month of November 2021, as additional states announced Value-Added Tax (VAT) cuts in response to the Centre's decision to reduce fuel excise tax. Petrol currently costs Rs 95.41 per litre in Delhi and Rs 109.98 per litre in Mumbai as a result of the price decrease. In Kolkata, it is now Rs 104.67 a litre, and in Chennai, it is Rs 101.51 per litre. Petrol prices have dropped considerably in various places, including Bengaluru (Rs 100.58/litre), Gurugram (Rs 95.90/litre), Noida (Rs 95.36/litre), and Lucknow (Rs 95.28/litre), following the lowering of VAT. However, petrol prices in most cities remain high, at or over Rs 100 per litre. Diesel prices have also dropped significantly as a result of the Centre's and states' tax reduction. It is now 86.67 rupees a litre in Delhi, 89.79 rupees in Kolkata, 94.14 rupees in Mumbai, and 91.53 rupees in Chennai. The Centre's cut in excise tax, followed by reductions in VAT in various states, has resulted in a dramatic decline in petrol and diesel rates after they had hit an all-time high. While some analysts believe that petrol and diesel prices will continue to climb as global crude oil prices rise, the recent price drop is likely to give much-needed respite to residents and businesses. It should be mentioned that the national government declared an excise duty drop of Rs 5 per litre for petrol and Rs 10 per litre for diesel on the eve of Diwali 2021. Following the Centre's decision, various states, including Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Mizoram, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Bihar, have reduced VAT on fuel prices. VAT has also been reduced in three Union Territories: Puducherry, Jammu \u0026 Kashmir, and Chandigarh.","portalUser":{"id":"MK3GmgLG7wo1","name":"Opoyi Business","username":"OpoyiBusiness","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_D6026Kum9dg.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":null,"keywords":"petrol price today, diesel price today, fuel price in mumbai, fuel price in Delhi, petrol hike, diesel hike,Delhi,Petrol,Mumbai,Kolkata,Arvind Kejriwal,Value-Added Tax,Centre,Gurugram,Odisha,Nagaland,Mizoram,Haryana,Gujarat,Bihar,VAT","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-03T08:30:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"PgqNH3I0L2G0","slug":"puducherry-extends-online-application-date-for-ug-non-neet-courses","slugV2":"education/puducherry-extends-online-application-date-for-ug-non-neet-courses-481359/","title":"Puducherry extends online application date for UG non-NEET courses","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_IrblBcv3e.jpg","coverCaption":"Previously, the last day to submit the application form was August 31 for UG non-NEET courses (Photo Credit: Unsplash)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-08-31T20:15:00+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCENTAC has issued a formal notice announcing the extension of the date\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eInterested students can apply for the UG Non-NEET 2021 admission process on the official website\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eThe CENTAC 2021 application process for Non NEET approval will be conducted online\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1630420145410,\\\"strCount\\\":3245,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"The Puducherry government has announced to extends the dates for the application form of the non-NEET online Undergraduate (UG) courses by a week.

To win, 148)\u003c/b\u003e,Ten years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/west-bengal-assembly-election-results-mamata-banerjee-pm-narendra-modi-bjp-tmc-khela-hobe\"\u003eMamata Banerjee\u003c/a\u003e had stormed Bengal with the promise of “poriborton” or change, ending 34 years of Left rule, the Congress by her side and the BJP irrelevant. In the decade since, the Left has been reduced to a bystander in Bengal politics, with Mamata making further inroads and the birth of the BJP as a power centre in the state. Congress, well, who?\u0026nbsp;,As she ousted the Left in 2011, Mamata swept 184 of the state’s 294 seats, her then ally the Congress picking up another 42. The Left, which had ruled Bengal without break since 1977, had won 40. The BJP, zero. Could Mamata do any better? Yes. In 2016, she won 211 seats. The Congress won 44, Left\u0026nbsp; 28, BJP 3.\u0026nbsp;,After the 2014 national \u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/how-to-check-2021-assembly-election-results\"\u003eelection\u003c/a\u003e the BJP's Amit Shah made it clear that he was eyeing West Bengal, one of the very few states untouched by the wave that swept Narendra Modi to power at the Centre that year. The BJP won two\u0026nbsp; of Bengal's 42 Lok Sabha seats, polling 17 per cent votes. Block by block, Shah vowed, he would build the BJP and snatch the state from Mamata.\u0026nbsp;,In the 2019 national election, the BJP gave Mamata a scare, winning 18 seats to the TMC's 22. With a vote share of 41 per cent, it reckoned it was ready for 2021.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;,Exit polls have predicted a slim win for the TMC over the BJP.\u0026nbsp; A whitewash is forecast for the Left and the Congress, contesting together.\u0026nbsp; A party or coalition needs to win 148 seats for a majority to form government.,\u003cb\u003eTamil Nadu (234 seats. To win, 118)\u003c/b\u003e,In Tamil Nadu, regional giants AIADMK and DMK slug it out as usual, each armed with a national party and smaller players. Exit polls have called it for the DMK-Congress coalition after 10 years of AIADMK rule. A landslide win is predicted for the MK Stalin-led coalition in the first election since legendary rivals, the AIADMK's J Jayalalitha and DMK's M Krunanidhi died. The AIADMK and BJP contested together as partners in the National Democratic Alliance.,In 2016 the AIADMK, led by the iconic Jayalalitha, had broken the state's run of picking either party every five years. Chief Minister Jayalalitha came back to power but was hospitalised weeks later and died that year of a prolonged illness. In the absence of its matriarch, the AIADMK broke into multiple factions, some of which are contesting separately this time and are expected to cut into the party's vote.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;,The DMK has had an easier transition after the death of its patriarch M Karunanidhi. His son MK Stalin took over the party and has been preparing for years for what could finally be his Chief Minister moment. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, swept by the BJP across most states, the DMK along with its partners had won 38 out of Tamil Nadu's 39 seats.,\u003cb\u003eKerala (140 seats. To win, 71)\u003c/b\u003e,Kerala has traditionally not voted Left coalition \u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/kerala-assembly-election-results-2021-pinarayi-vijayan-led-ldf-vs-ramesh-chennithala-led-udf\"\u003eLDF\u003c/a\u003e or Congress' coalition UDF back to power in the last four decades, but Chief Minister Pinnarayi Vijayan will pull off a second straight term, exit polls predict.\u0026nbsp;,The Left had lost the 2011 assembly election narrowly to the UDF 68-72, but had won by a dignified margin in 2016, bagging 91, to the Congress coalition's 47. Kerala has 140 assembly seats and a party or alliance needs 71 to form government.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;,The BJP's Mission Kerala has been far less successful than its Mission Bengal, with the party winning 1 assembly seat in 2016 and none in the parliamentary election in 2019. Exit polls are not bullish on a significant improvement.,\u003cb\u003eAssam (126 seats. To win, 64)\u003c/b\u003e,The BJP, a fringe player for many years in Congress stronghold Assam, had won the northeastern state for the first time in 2016, The state, say exit polls, wants to retain the party. The BJP-led NDA had won 86 of Assam's 126 seats last time. It needs to win 64 today to form government again.\u0026nbsp;,The BJP's partners in Assam are the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), the United People's Party Liberal (UPPL) and the Gana Suraksha Party (GSP),,On the other side is a \"grand alliance\" of eight parties - ,the Congress, AIUDF, Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF), CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML) Liberation, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Anchalik Gana Morcha (AGM).,Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal's report card is seen to be good, but the BJP has not said that he would be Chief Minister again if the party returns to power. It's a nod to the powerful Himanta Biswa Sarma, who the BJP imported from the Congress months before the 2016 assembly elections and who is the party's chief strategist in the north east.\u0026nbsp;,\u003cb\u003ePuducherry (33 seats - 30 elected, 3 nominated. To win, 16)\u003c/b\u003e,Exit polls have predicted a win for the BJP-led coalition, which has projected as its face the popular N Rangaswamy of the All India NR \u003ca href=\"https://opoyi.com/puducherry-election-results-ainrc-nda-n-rangaswamy-vs-sda-v-narayanasamy\"\u003eCongress\u003c/a\u003e.

Firstly, these states are outside the sphere of influence of political factors that are currently active in north India where the unrest by farmer bodies have dominated the narrative. In terms of challenges, however, these polls constitute an important indicator of the shape of things to come before the next Lok Sabha polls due in 2024.

Even a sharp dip in the electoral strength of Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress in Bengal, let alone a resounding defeat in the hands of the BJP, could signal the collapse of the last resistance to Modi’s leadership since the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. .
