New Delhi: Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has targeted the Modi government ahead of the GST Council meeting to be held today. He has raised questions about not giving states a share in GST revenue. Rahul Gandhi accused the Centre's Modi government of working for big industrialists. At the same time, Rahul referred to the 8,000 crore plane purchase, saying profligacy is very tight.
In a tweet, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "1. Centre promises GST revenue for States. 2. Economy shattered by PM & Covid 3. PM gives 1.4 lakh Crs tax cuts to Corporates, buys 2 planes for himself for 8400 Crs 4. Centre has no money to pay States 5. FM tells States- Borrow. Why is your CM mortgaging your future for Modi?"
The meeting will once again discuss the compensation for GST revenue losses to the states. The State Finance Ministers' Council, led by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, is going to brainstorm on compensating the reduction in GST revenue for the third consecutive time.
