Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday targeted the government over the Goods and Services Tax and blamed it for hurting the country’s economic growth. In a tweet, Rahul said, a major reason for the historic decline in GDP is the Gabbar Singh Tax of the Modi government.
He added GST wasted a lot, including the future of millions of jobs and youth, the economic situation of states. He said GST means economic apocalypse.
He accused the government of allowing 15-20 businessmen of having the means to manipulate the tax payment and farmers, labourers and small businesses of not having the same leverage.
“Who has the means? India’s biggest 15-20 industrialists. So, whatever tax law they want to change can easily be done in this GST regime,” Rahul said in a video.
