GUWAHATI, July 10 - The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) has called upon the State Government to roll back its recent decision to go for a hike in the Value Added Tax (VAT).

The party said in a statement that the hike in VAT will hurt the middle class and poor sections of the State�s population.

It said the BJP which came to power in New Delhi on promises of heralding �Acche Din� and in Dispur by promising �Parivartan�, has in reality acted against the interests of the common citizens.

�The government is only working in the interests of the corporates and the elite class,� said the Badruddin Ajmal-led party, and added that the government should immediately roll back the hike.
