Gst Bill Sonia Gandhi

Four Bills related to the Goods and Services Tax or GST were debated in the Lok Sabha or lower house of Parliament today, as the government pushes to meet a July 1 launch date for the unified tax regime that subsumes a slew of indirect taxes at the Centre and in states. Seven hours were allotted for today's debate, which began at noon, with union m...

The BJP-led government prefers Tuesday, the Congress, Wednesday. There is a new tussle between the two, this time over which day the Goods and Services Tax Bill should be presented in the Rajya Sabha.

In the power corridors of Delhi, Iftaar has always been a political rather than a religious event. So when Congress president Sonia Gandhi announced the cancellation of her customary Iftar party this year, it sent ripples down the line.

The Congress Party, particularly in the Rajya Sabha where they have considerable strength, seems determined to derail proceedings of the House for the remaining part of the Budget Session so that the Agusta mud does not stick.

To rescue a key reform from cold storage, the government today reached out to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and offered to call an early parliament session if her party is willing to support the national Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh today alleged that BJP leaders were trying to sully the image of party chief Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi over National Herald case, and claimed they have not drawn any profit from the company.

Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today said there is "no link" between the National Herald and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill issues and asserted that his party is for the tax reform measure if three differences are resolved.

The fate of crucial legislation like the Goods and Services Tax or GST bill depends on the outcome of a meeting of top Congress leaders on Sunday night.

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said "democracy cannot function at the whims and fancies of anyone" in an apparent jab at the Congress for disruptions in Parliament, Congress president Sonia Gandhi responded: "Let him say what he wants."

With repeated disruptions stalling legislation including the GST or Goods and Services Tax, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said it was a "matter of sorrow" that Parliament was not running.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Congress president Sonia Gandhi a happy birthday early on Wednesday morning, as the BJP-led government continued to walk a fine line on the National Herald case.

The Congress on Tuesday declared war on the BJP-led government over the National Herald case against party leaders Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the key reform, the Goods and Services Tax or GST.

But insiders on both sides admit that India has had to wait since 2011 for its biggest tax reform not because the bills had flaws in them or for a lack of consensus, but simply because the battle is political not numerical.

The Congress is still waiting for the government to respond to its objections to the Goods and Services Tax, which its president Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh conveyed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his colleagues over tea, last week, party sources told NDTV.
