Congress criticises PM Modi, calls GST reforms inadequate
Congress has criticised PM Narendra Modi's announcement of next-generation GST reforms, calling them inadequate. Jairam Ramesh said GST remains a "growth-suppressing tax" with too many slabs, high rates on mass-consumption goods, and heavy compliance costs. He added that the party had been "demanding a GST 2.0 since July 2017 itself".
