The ratification of the bill comes in quick succession after the Chhattisgarh assembly passed it unanimously on Monday. The state assembly of Gujarat had convened a special session to ratify the Bill that was passed by Parliament earlier this month. In New Delhi, the Aam Aadmi Party government only last week said it will place the GST Bill for ratification before the Delhi Assembly during its 4-day session beginning August 22 if it receives official communication about the Bill from the Centre. The government had been working overtime to get states on board over the GST following the passage of the bill in Parliament.
