  • Congress leader Pawan Khera terming GST as Gabbar Sitharaman Tax. He emphasized the negative effects on middle-class families and farmers, and noted that even after 90 months, new circulars are being introduced.

The article from MSN discusses a recent critique by the Congress party against Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, whom they refer to as "Gabbar Sitharaman," a play on the notorious dacoit character Gabbar Singh from the Bollywood film "Sholay." The Congress party has accused the Finance Minister of issuing new GST circulars 90 months after the initial rollout of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. These circulars, according to the Congress, are an attempt to clarify and rectify issues that have persisted since the GST was implemented, highlighting the government's delay in addressing these problems. The critique suggests that these clarifications should have been provided much earlier to prevent confusion and hardship for businesses and taxpayers. The article also touches on the broader political context, where opposition parties often use such delays to question the efficiency and effectiveness of the ruling government's economic policies.
