The notification saw changes to the Karnataka Sales Tax Act, where the tax for petrol was increased from 25.92 per cent to 29.84 per cent and 14.34 per cent to 18.44 per cent for diesel. While the opposition in the state, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (Secular) have criticised the move and threatened state-wide protests against the Chief Minister Siddaramaiah-led Congress government, some of the state ministers have defended the move and justified it.
