SRINAGAR, Oct 22: Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Goods and Services Tax (GST), former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today asked how many months has it been since the midnight session of Parliament when people were told this law regime is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
“How many months has it been since the midnight session of Parliament when we were told this GST law is the greatest thing since sliced bread,” Abdullah, who is the working present of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
He was reacting to Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia’s comment that with the new GST regime firmly entrenched; a complete overhaul of the tax rates is now required to reduce the burden on small and medium businesses.
Omar further said now this explains why the Prime Minister was so happy to share credit for GST with the Congress. “He’s not usually given to sharing credit anywhere,” the NC working president added.
