'I Beseech You, Clear GST Bill': Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's Appeal Wins Congress Support

In major relief for the government, the Congress has said it will support the Goods and Services Tax bill, which means it will clear Parliament with the two-thirds majority needed for a constitutional amendment. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today said in Parliament, "I beseech you, clear GST," appealing to Opposition parties not to stall the legislation that will give effect to a unified tax regime in the country.
