Hitting back at BJP for its allegation that the main opposition party was “not serious” about GST, Congress today ripped into Modi government saying it was putting up a “false smoke screen” and its attitude on GSTwas marked by “deception, deceit and doublespeak”.
“BJP government, including Prime Minister and Finance Minister, has been putting up false smoke screen by accusing Congress for obstructing GST, while the truth is that GST stands consistently red-flagged for last nine years by RSS and Swadeshi Jagran Manch.
“BJP government has resorted to misleading and dramatic optics to masquerade its mal-intent rather than sincere operationalisation of GST in the interest of people of India,” party spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohil told reporters at the AICC briefing.
