Rahul Gandhi’s GST Tweets Resurface as Government Implements Reforms

Amid the latest reforms to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) by the Indian government, Rahul Gandhi is reposting older tweets to social media. The Congress party views these actions as the BJP admitting their past mistakes, while the Congress has consistently opposed the current GST implementation. The tweets, including one from 2016 and another from 2017, advocate for an 18% cap on GST. The tweets shared by Rahul Gandhi called for a simplified GST structure. The changes to the GST, effective September 22, include the elimination of certain tax slabs and a shift towards lower rates, thereby aiming to benefit the public. The new regulations limit GST rates to only 5% and 18%, removing the 12% and 28% tax brackets. These adjustments have been implemented to provide significant relief to citizens across the country.
