‘In our country if we combine diesel, kerosene and LPG Rs1,90,000 crore is the amount of subsidy given. The budget of the entire rural development and drinking water ministries in comparison is Rs99,000 crore. What kind of a country is this?Taxes had to be imposed on sale of petrol so that development work could be carried out in the country. Where does the tax go? Where does the money come for NREGA? Where does the money come for Prime Minister’s Gramin Sadak Yojana? It comes from taxes,’ said rural development minister Jairam Ramesh
