New Delhi: The Congress today put the onus of ensuring the passage of the GST Bill on the government, saying it is yet to revert to the opposition parties on their concerns.
“The ball is in their court. Government has to take a call and revert to opposition parties as to how the GST Bill does not become a kill-GST Bill but rather remains an effective GST Bill,” said Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala. He said the Congress has put forward three “concrete” points for consideration of the government but it is yet to get a reply.
In an apparent reference to the Arvind Subramanian panel suggestions, the Congress spokesperson said, “Government has also finally relented and has seen the voice of reason,” adding, “Congress has clearly stated that GST is a Bill that was conceived and was presented to Parliament and the nation by the Congress party.”
