Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal warned that the central government will withdraw the E20 levy only if the BJP is defeated in the upcoming elections in Goa and Uttar Pradesh.
Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal publicly stated that the Modi administration will consider removing the E20 levy only after the Bharatiya Janata Party suffers electoral defeats in both Goa and Uttar Pradesh. His comment came amid heightened political activity ahead of the scheduled state elections in the two regions.
Kejriwal framed the demand as a condition for the central government to reverse a policy he described as burdensome for the public. He did not elaborate on the specifics of the E20 levy, but emphasized that its withdrawal is contingent on the BJP losing power in the two states.
The statement underscores the growing political contest between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP at the state level, and signals that electoral outcomes in Goa and Uttar Pradesh could influence national fiscal decisions.
