On Sunday, TRS MP Boora Narsaiah Goud took the cue from CM KCR and lambasted the Centre for ignoring the state's plea on reducing GST so that projects will not be affected. "The state's Mission Bhagiratha (Rs 35,000 crore; GST at 12% is Rs 4,200 crore, and at 5% is Rs 1,200 crore), Mission Kakatiya (Rs 22,000 crore; GST at 12% is Rs 2,640 crore, and at 5%, Rs 1,100 crore) and double bed-room (Rs 16,000 crore; GST at 12% is Rs 1,920 crore and at 5% is Rs 800 crore) projects are for the benefit of the people. For starters, the two parties were never in alliance but KCR appeared to be on the right side of Modi. The state BJP reacted quickly and sharply to KCR's and TRS's statements, provoking the TRS openly over the last 24 hours. KCR does not appear to enjoy the support in the universities that he did during the agitation.
