The Congress is raising many questions about GST reform. In this episode, Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary said that this was the spirit of GST from the Congress party and the Congress government. Our aim was to implement GST across the country and not to apply it in many slabs, but in 1-2 slabs so that ordinary citizens do not have much difficulty in getting employment. Borrowing our spirit, the BJP implemented GST by beating it very much.

Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary said that this NDA government converted the GST which was to be simplified the taxes into Gabbar Singh tax. The demand to reduce the slab, which was repeatedly made inside and outside the House, is now fulfilled. Senior Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh on Monday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that Modi had opposed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) while being the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
Congress Communications in-charge General Secretary Ramesh told ANI that from 2006 to 2014, for eight years, only one Chief Minister opposed GST, and he became the Prime Minister in 2014 and emerged as the Messiah of GST taking a U-turn in 2017. He further stated that recently announced GST reforms are limited as they do not provide ease of removing procedural complications of the MSME sector. Recent improvements in GST are limited. The need to remove procedural complications of the MSME region is not met.
