Earlier this month, the Congress had called the new tax regime "flawed and unstable" and demanded the Centre to scrap it.
"The GST has serious birth defects. In the last five years these defects have only become worse.
The so-called GST that is enforced today was not the GST envisaged by the Congress-led UPA government, " Chidambaram had said.
