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.

Pulwama, May 28: A major incident of a vehicle-borne IED blast was averted by the timely input and action by Pulwama Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Army, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said.

According to sources, Pulwama Police got credible information last night about a terrorist moving with an explosive-laden car ready to blast at some location. They took out various parties of police and security forces and covered all possible routes keeping themselves and the police and security forces away from the road at safer locations.

The suspected vehicle came and a few rounds were fired towards it. A little ahead this vehicle was abandoned and the driver escaped in the darkness. On close look, the vehicle was seen to be carrying heavy explosives in a drum on the rear seat. Possibly more explosive would be fitted elsewhere in the vehicle, sources added.

The vehicle was kept under watch for the night. People in nearby houses were evacuated and the vehicle exploded in situ by the Bomb Disposal Squad as moving the vehicle would have involved serious threat, sources said.

The vehicle reportedly sports a number plate of a scooter registered somewhere in Kathua district of Jammu zone, sources added.
