A political debate has erupted over the government’s latest GST reforms, with the Congress party criticising the move as being ‘8 years too late.’ Continuing its ‘Gabbar Singh Tax’ jibe, the opposition has questioned the timing of the announcement, stating that for years the poor were being punished and MSMEs were being crushed. The Congress claims it was pressure from the opposition that led to the simplification of the GST structure. Former finance minister P. Chidambaram was quoted as saying the current design should have been introduced in the first place. The opposition also links the timing of these reforms to upcoming elections in Bihar and the results of the recent Lok Sabha elections. The discussion also considers whether this criticism from the opposition might backfire and be perceived as anti-middle class.
