The Maharashtra government may discuss the twin issues of Value Added Tax (VAT) and fuel prices in the state cabinet meeting scheduled for Thursday, a senior minister said on Wednesday.

Notably, during his virtual interaction with chief ministers of various states on Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged higher fuel prices in many opposition-ruled states and urged them to reduce VAT in "national interest" to benefit the common man and work in the spirit of cooperative federalism in this time of global crisis.
