Rahul Gandhi mocks at GST again

A day after describing the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as "Gabbar Singh Tax", Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi again hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the pan-India tax regime, saying it was designed so as to grab peoples' earnings.

"Congress GST = Genuine Simple Tax. Modiji's GST = Gabbar Singh Tax = Ye kamai mujhe de do (Give me these earnings)," Gandhi mocked in a tweet.

Gandhi's remarks highlighted the difference of the GST proposed by the previous Congress-led UPA regime and the one implemented by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government. 

The Congress has said that its proposed GST was a single tax of 18 per cent across the nation with few forms to be filled, while the one implemented by the BJP-led NDA government has 28 per cent tax and several return forms.

On Monday, the Congress leader while addressing a rally in Gandhinagar, described GST as Gabbar Singh Tax. 

"Ye jo inka GST hai, ye aam aadmi pe bojh hai... Ye GST nahi, ye Gabbar Singh Tax hai," Gandhi said.
