Union Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal has blamed the Congress for opposing the GST Bill only to get credit. Talking to India Today during his Agra visit, Meghwal said that after the introduction of GST, the GDP of India will rise from 7.6 per cent to 10 per cent. He said that the Congress wants the GST to become a part of the constitution, but that will make every little change in the structure of the tax very cumbersome. He said that there are some issue with the current structure of GST which are being resolved. He said that the Congress is bent on making GST a very complicated tax whereas the Union Government wants to free the traders from the hassles of multiple taxation, through GST.
