Modi now implementing Congress suggestion on GST: Rahul


New Delhi, Dec 20 (IANS): Calling the Goods and Services Tax (GST) "Gabbar Singh Tax" again, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said his party has "jolted" Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue and Modi now wants to implement what the Congress had suggested earlier.

"The Congress has finally jolted Narendraji from his deep slumber on Gabbar Singh Tax. Though still drowsy, he now wants to implement what he had earlier called the Congress Party's 'Grand Stupid Thought'. Better late then never Narendraji!," Gandhi tweeted.

His remarks came two days after Modi said at an event in Mumbai that the government was aiming to bring 99 per cent of items at or below 18 per cent GST slab.

    Rahul, please tell us now what are you going to do about GSt if people vote congress to power, as you have already conceded that Modi has done what you suggested.
    So why should people vote for you, if Modi is already it?

    Our beloved Gonkranne of Manibettu was the first one to suggest uniform GST! Unfortunately, he didn't reserve copyright of it.

    GST reduction is out of a crooked idea and Rahul thinks that the credit goes to him!

    Modiji is like double edged sword!

    Some people still think that Feku is very smart, that's why he had a MA pass and BA fail degree !!! He is smart in Ullu Banaying to the Andha Bhakts not others. Because of his Double Sword "BHARATIYA JUUMLA PARTY " lost in 3 Chaddi dominated states and got single digit in other 2 states!!!!! In reality Rahul Gandhi obliged Feku to kneel down in front of 69 % Indians!!! People should not try to take Sampit Patres place " neeche gira toh bhi Taang ooper "

    BJP is shivering in the midst of extreme winter cold & thunder, the results of 3 Hindi heart attacks will slowly mend them to realize that they are in a sinking boat.

    BJP oppose single tax on all products.. tax on luxury and necessity can’t be the same... may be you can funds from abroad to pay taxes .. middle class and lower middle class people don’t get these funds... they need to work hard... if you have issues with GST speak to congress party in Karnataka and ask them to raise their voice in GST council... stop barking like rahul Gandhi and bar dancer

    Rahulji,
    Modi has reduced GST not to oblige you and in public interest but to appease general public and influence on his electoral success in coming elections. Nothing else to offer. Even fuel price will most probably come down in coming days.
    Mr. Modi plays is cards very cautiously to ensure that his efforts will not go worthless.
    What you will promise in coming elections.?
