Accept our demnds, will pass GST in 15 minutes ; Rahul Gandhi
"It will take 15 minutes," he said.
The constitutional amendment bill designed to develop a single tax regime in the country has been mired in the Rajya Sabha following stiff opposition from the Congress and other opposition parties. The ruling BJP is in the minority in the upper house.
The government, desiring to implement the system in April, now says it will try and build consensus on the bill and try and pass it early in the budget session of Parliament that is expected to begin in the last week of February.
Assailing the government on the Pathankot terror strike, Gandhi said, "The attack on Pathankot is being handled by the National Security Advisor. That is not his job. He claimed that the Modi government is not consulting "the best people to deal with foreign affairs."
