I have spoken to all CMs of the states including Congress ruled states, everyone is in favour of GST: Arun Jaitley pic.twitter.com/hvbtmxR4vU — ANI (@ANI_news) May 16, 2016“Every political party, including the Congress favours GST. Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday said every policial party including the Congress favours the passage of the pending Goods and Services Tax Bill (GST) . The GST bill, which has been cleared by the Lok Sabha, is lying in the Rajya Sabha because of stiff resistance by Congress. It’s extremely difficult for even the Congress party to take a contrary step,” he added. The Congress party should have had the vision to support it more aggressively because they could claim the original authorship of the idea,” said Jaitley.
