He was responding to queries as to whether the Bihar government would take a cue from the Centre, besides some BJP-ruled states which have announced a cut in taxes imposed on petrol and diesel. "Ghataenge, ghataenge....(we will do the needful for reducing prices).
A decision will be taken later in the day," Kumar told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
