People will save money on 99% of daily use items: Vaishnaw
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: The reduced GST rates on a wide array of items have ignited a "wave of happiness" among people, the BJP said on Monday and cited the higher tax rates on same products during the Congress-led government to slam its criticism of the GST reforms.
Hitting back at the Congress for its "Gabbar Singh Tax" barb at the GST, Union minister and BJP leader Ashwini Vaishnaw cited the prevalence of much higher rates during its government to wonder if such hugh taxation was like "Gabbar Singh ke bade dada" (the grandfather of Gabbar Singh).
Giving examples, he said the tax rates on cement, sanitary pad, paint, footwear, TV and fridge during the Congress-led UPA rule were 30, 13, 30, 18, 30 and 30 per cent respectively.
