Photo: PTIMorbi, Gujarat: Continuing his high decibel campaign in poll-bound Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for calling goods and services tax (GST) ‘Gabbar Singh Tax’ and said those who looted the country could only think of dacoits. In a stinging rebuttal to Gandhi’s repeated criticism of the GST, a key economic reform of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, Modi said a recently emerged “economist” was propagating a “grand stupid thought” by suggesting that GST rate be capped at 18%. He said Gandhi was propagating a ‘grand stupid thought’ in the name of GST, telling people that they will slash all tax rates and make it 18%. Rahul Gandhi is also in Gujarat today and tomorrow and is expected to address multiple rallies.
