GST Decision 'Not Taken By PM Modi Alone,' Says PM Modi

Defending the new national sales tax or GST, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that "the decision to implement the reform was not of Prime Minister Modi alone." He said there were nearly 30 parties that were consulted and involved with the new tax, of whom he singled out one. "The Congress is an equal partner in GST decisions. They should not spread lies on GST," the Prime Minister said at a rally in Gujarat, his home state which he governed for over a decade.
