GST has many defects, led to large-scale destruction of MSMEs, says P Chidambaram

New Delhi, 1/7: Asserting that the GST had serious “birth defects” which became only worse over the last five years, the Congress on Friday said the GST laws and the manner of their implementation have “wrecked the economy” and the party will work toward its replacement by GST 2.0.

 

 

The Opposition party said demonetisation was the first “Tughlaqi Farman” of the government while the Goods and Service Tax second harmed the economy.

 

At a press conference here, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said the GST “celebrates” its fifth birthday on Friday but there is nothing really to celebrate
