GST Reforms: While India Inc has hailed the Goods and Services Tax reforms, the opposition is still not happy. While the general public is cheering the rate cut on a number of products, Congress rued a delay in the reforms. Slamming the Centre over Goods and Services Tax, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said that government changed the “One Nation, One Tax” into “One Nation, 9 Taxes.”The Congress president said that the government has awakened from ‘Kumbhakaranian’ sleep. “It is a good thing that, even if 8 years late, the Modi government’s Kumbhakaranian sleep regarding GST has finally awakened, and they have spoken about Rate Rationalisation upon waking. All states should be given Compensation for a period of 5 years, taking 2024-25 as the base year, because a reduction in rates is certain to have an adverse impact on their revenues,” said Kharge.
