Structural change in GST needed : Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that the Central government needs to bring about structural change in the Goods and Services Tax (GST), media reports said.
"It is a good thing that due to pressure from Congress and citizens of India, BJP government has brought lot of items from the 28 percent to 18 percent tax bracket," he said at Chiloda in Gandhinagar, beginning his three-day Navsarjan Yatra in north Gujarat.
. "However, we are not happy and we shall not stop. India does not need five different taxes but one tax. GST needs structural change," he said.
Before reaching Chiloda, Rahul visited Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had attended silver jubilee festivities at the temple on November 2.
The Congress Vice President plans to cover 19 Assembly constituencies in six districts over three days.
North Gujarat has 32 Assembly seats and this is the fourth region Gandhi visited in recent days.
At Chiloda, Rahul said that he would make good of his promise of giving more seats to women.
"We have promised you that we would give more seats to women in Assembly polls and when time comes, we will make good of our promise," he said.
"In the future, we would also give more representations to women in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha too."
