TIL Desk/National/Nahan/ Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) would undergo sweeping changes to provide relief to traders, consumers and other sections hit by it, after his party comes to power at the Centre in 2019.
He also hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his charge of rampant corruption in Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh claiming that according to a NITI Aayog report, graft levels in the hill state were way below others.
Himachal fared far better than BJP-ruled Gujarat on development parameters, he said citing the report. He also accused Modi of speaking “selectively” on the issue of corruption and demanded to know where the jobs that the BJP had promised were.
“We will completely change the GST after coming to power in 2019 to mitigate the sufferings of the people hit by it,” Rahul Gandhi said addressing poll rallies at Paonta Sahib, Chamba and Nagrota in the poll-bound hill state. Responding to the claims of BJP leaders that the tax was passed with Congress support, he said that GST that has been implemented by the Modi government was not what was proposed by his party.
