Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that if re-elected, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will continue with fiscal prudence and lower tax rates. He also hinted at lowering tax on cement during next round of tax cuts.

Jaitley was addressing the Confederation of Indian Industries' (CII) Annual General Meeting (AGM) here in the national capital.

"I speak in terms of taxation policies. I'm quite clear in my mind that on two issues at least we had — a lot of good fiscal prudence and we brought the rates down, these are two areas, if we are in power we will continue the same glide path," he said.
