LUCKNOW: Claiming that GST is beneficial only for big traders, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday mocked the BJP , saying it could even resort to using "mantras" to resolve people's problems without taking any real steps. It has made people's life difficult with demonetisation and GST implementation. GST is only of benefit to big traders. "The state government is saying that its growth rate is 6 per cent. However, if they ignore Muslims' contribution in development, it will stand at only 2 per cent," Yadav said, asking party workers to start preparations for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
