Lucknow: The senior congress leader Supriya Shrinate has slashed on the Bharatiya Janata Party led government over “flawed GST” and also alleged that the AAP government has been unable to fulfil expectations of people and political equations demanded that the Congress should fight the Delhi assembly polls on its own.
Speaking with the reporters, Shrinate said that our biggest demand is to rid the country of tax attack.Relief should be given in the upcoming budget. The burden of GST has been imposed on wheat, medicines, curd, popcorn, sale of old car.
“The government should remove GST on essential things like medical insurance. Congress’ 2024 ‘Nyay Patra’ talked of GST 2.0 and GST should be simplified. People should get relief.”
Asked about the Congress fighting Delhi polls on its own while several partners of INDIA bloc extended their support to Aam Aadmi Party, Shrinate said Congress takes a decision according to the situation.
She alleged that the AAP government had been unable to meet the expectations of people and it was essential to fix the party’s accountability. “That is why we are fighting the polls separately. Delhi has been Congress stronghold, the party ran very successful governments here…Political equations are such that we have to stand alone in the Delhi elections,” she said.
Kejriwal said earlier in the day that the Delhi assembly elections will be a direct contest between the AAP and the BJP and not an election of the INDIA alliance.
