New Delhi, Nov 27 (IBNS): In an attempt to break the deadlock over the Goods and Services Tax (GST) bill, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is meeting his predecessor Manmohan Singh, Congress President Sonia Gandhi for discussions over tea.
Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Venkaiah Naidu are also attending the meet.
 
Modi has invited his Singh and the Congress leader for a discussion to end the standoff on Goods and Services Tax, the government's most cherished tax reform.
 
This is the first time that the PM has invited the main leaders of the opposition to break the stalemate.
 
The government is keen on pushing through the bill despite the stiff opposition from the Congress and other opposition parties. Talks between the two sides have so far yielded no results.
 
The Congress has repeatedly accused the government of failing to bring the opposition on board.
