‘Gabbar Singh Tax’ vs ‘decisive strike’: Haryana Assembly erupts in debate over GST reforms
A resolution praising reforms to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime was adopted in the Haryana Assembly on Thursday, with ruling BJP legislators hailing the changes and Opposition Congress MLAs criticising the Centre for burdening citizens with high taxes, with a few terming it as ‘Gabbar Singh Tax’.
BJP MLAs Parmod Kumar Vij, Ghanshyam Dass, and Jagmohan Anand, along with independent MLA Savitri Jindal, introduced a non official resolution on Thursday recommending that the state government should convey to the central government that the revision of GST tax slabs is commendable and appreciable.
Vij asserted that GST 2 is a decisive strike against inflation, proving that the government does not shy away from taking bold and far reaching decisions. Expressing gratitude to the Narendra Modi government for reducing GST, he added that 2025 has become a defining year in the nation’s developmental journey.
