A section of media had reported that the Bihar chief minister skipped the meeting held to mark the rollout of the GST, the biggest tax reform in independent India. Or, for that matter, was any chief minister present at the function,” Kumar asked reporters on the sidelines of a public meeting at Patna. Reaffirming his support for the GST, Kumar said there would be problems initially in switching over to a new tax regime, but in the long run it would help everybody.
