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.

New Delhi, Feb 11: Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari on Tuesday said the party will review why it failed to meet its own expectations in the Assembly polls and saw a moral victory in the fact that the party's vote share has increased since 2015.

"Delhi must have given mandate after careful thinking. Our vote percentage has increased from 32 per cent to around 38 per cent. Delhi did not reject us and the increase (in vote share) is a good sign for us," he told reporters.

He said the BJP hopes that there would be less blame game and more work in the national capital and congratulated Arvind Kejriwal on his party's victory in the polls.

After winning the Patparganj seat, AAP senior leader Manish Sisodia accused the BJP of indulging in the politics of hate.

"We indulge in politics of development not politics of hate. We're against the roadblock in Shaheen Bagh as we were earlier," he said.
