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.

Kolkata, Jul 20: As many as 13 migrant workers who came to their native village in West Bengal's Bankura district were denied entry at the quarantine centre by the locals.

As a result, the workers had to set up a tent accommodation at a nearby Beraban forest area and lived together in a single tent there, without adequate food, drinking water and basic facilities.

The migrant labourers came from Rajasthan after four months of COVID-19 lockdown which was imposed nationwide on March 25 to contain the spread of coronavirus.

When they arrived at Jagadalla village in the Bankura district and tried to put up at a village school building for two weeks self-quarantine, angry villagers vehemently protested against their entry fearing Covid infections in their village.

Sources said that local police and panchayat members also failed to make the villagers understand the fact that if the labourers strictly stayed in self-quarantine there would be no chance of any further infection.

"The school is located quite within our neighbourhood. If they stay there and tested positive, they might spread Covid infections in the village. We cannot allow them to stay in the school building," said Aniket Goswami, a villager.
