There is the good and the bad in the bond scam Talking of good, we do ride of a wheeler dealer in the process. Now the car dealers are up in arms. Please reduce the tax on hybrid and electric cars and bring sanity to 6 million who voted for MS.

The roads will be flooded again. When will this end? More bikes and vehicles on road than people. Won't be able to walk peacefully.

Not a good move at all.. Roads will be congested and more accidents are prone to happen.. Rather improve the public transport to please the category who wants to buy a bike.. when is the Indian vehicle import mafia going to end, dumping their vehicles on our roads.

Dear Minister, how do you intend to recover the loss???, so which of the essential goods will go up in price???... to recover this, just increase some daily FMCG stuff by a small margin, job done...

I could not understand why all the Finance Ministers including previous regime always amend the Vehicles Tax.
