New Delhi, Aug 16: The government on Saturday lashed out at the opposition Congress for attempting to take credit for the biggest GST reforms, saying the party was not even present in Parliament when the landmark one-nation, one-tax was passed, and its statements now smack of hypocrisy.
Recalling the history of Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout, top government sources said the Congress party when it came to power at the Centre in 2004 had the economy in the “pink of health” but it still could not convince the states to come together for GST as their leaders lacked “statesmanship”.
