Congress equal partner on GST implementation, says Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a fierce attack on the Congress. He declared that this was a fight between Vikasbad (progress) and Vanshbad (dynasty).

Mr Modi tried to empathise with the traders and assured them that he was looking into all aspects of GST. “From day one, I have said we will review GST after three months and we made changes. If there are still hurdles, we will try and resolve them too,” the PM said.

With the Congress targeting him over GST, the PM told the crowd that the decision to implement the reform was not his alone, and the Congress was an equal partner. "The Congress is an equal partner in GST decisions. They should not spread lies,” he said.

The GST has been linked to demonetisation which is being regarded as a factor of economic slowdown.
