Taxes on petrol fund free COVID vaccines: Union Minister justifies fuel price hike

Taxes on petroleum products funded free COVID-19 vaccines provided by the government to people, the minister further said. Interacting with reporters, Teli further said the price of petrol is not high but taxes are imposed and this is also a means of raising resources.
