Congress an equal partner in GST decision, says PM Modi

New Delhi, Oct 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday called the Congress "an equal partner" in decisions about the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

"I want to tell my friends that Congress is an equal partner in GST decisions. They should not spread lies on GST," he said in an address to BJP workers at his 'Gujarat Gaurav Mahasammelan' in the state capital, Gandhinagar.

The PM assured the people that his government was "actively striving to remove any issues with the GST."

"The government is actively striving to remove any issues that GST may have. Thousands of new businessmen are registering for it," the PM said.

In his speech, PM Modi also took a dig at the Congress, calling the Gujarat elections a fight between 'development and dynasty,' adding that development politics will triumph over family rule.

"This election is between development and dynasty. Development will win, and dynasty will lose," he said.

He challenged the Congress to fight the elections on the plank of development, instead of "trying to manipulate the people."

The Opposition has been unwavering in its criticim of the new tax regime.

The Congress had a few days ago alleged that the GST had "failed" and left "the economy in misery."

"GST has failed due to structural irregularities, leaving the economy in misery & Modi & Co trying to save face," the party had tweeted.

Mumbai, Jan 29: Unfazed by his suspension from flying on Tuesday, stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra on Wednesday claimed that he once again approached television journalist Arnab Goswami, who he said was his co-passenger on a flight from Lucknow, for an "honest discussion" but was turned away.

Kamra tweeted in the morning that "Arnab Goswami was again travelling in his flight while returning from Lucknow". "I again asked him politely if he wants to have a honest discussion he with his verbal arrogant hand jester he asked me to move away & I did that (sic)," he tweeted.

The comedian was suspended from flying by IndiGo and Air India on Tuesday after he allegedly heckled Goswami aboard a Mumbai-Lucknow plane and posted a video clip on his Twitter handle.

While IndiGo suspended Kamra from flying with it for a period of six months, Air India banned him until further notice.

In a statement released on Twitter after he posted the video, Kamra said he did "exactly what Republic TV journalists do to people in their private/public spaces". Kamra stated he had not done anything criminal by allegedly heckling Goswami.
