GST launched, trolled on Twitter

New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Pranab Mukherjee pressed the "button" to officially roll out the much-awaited Goods and Services Tax (GST) "at the stroke of the midnight hour." But trust netizens to find even the most important stories funny. Social media soon turned to hilarious tweets and videos soon after GST was launched.

While some twitter users took the opportunity to free the ‘beef’ of all guilt of lynchings and killings and shift the blame to the GST, some found more serious logistical and syntactical issues with the abbreviation.

Say for example,

Or for example,

or when somebody says they are 'GST' friends

And someone reminds it is not the full form of Tendulkar's name

Then there was what everybody was thinking!

But there are logistical issues you see, felt another Twitter user

But there were yet others who felt that GST is time for a shopping spree!

Even our Twitter savvy Virendra Sehwag could not stay back from commenting

With someone summing it up as imagination vs reality

With another trolling GST even more
