Video: UP minister sent to explain GST to people fumbles with full form

Maharajganj (Uttar Pradesh): In a huge embarrassment for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government, one of its cabinet ministers failed to spell out the full form of GST, which is scheduled to be rolled out at midnight on Friday.

Social Welfare, Scheduled Castes and Tribal Affairs Minister Ramapati Shastri, who was here to make people aware about the nitty gritties of the GST, was caught by media person when he was not able to tell the extended form of GST (Goods and Services Tax).

The Uttar Pradesh Minister started fumbling when asked about the full form of the GST.

However, the Minister tried to cover up his mistake and asserted that he is aware of the full form.

"I know the full form. I am going through all the important documents to gather more knowledge about the GST," said Ramapati.

GST will bring the Indian economy under a single tax bracket.
