Note ban, GST ‘double tap’ killed economy: Rahul

Mangalore Today News Network

Oct 27 2017: In one of his sharpest attacks on the Modi government’s economic decisions, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said demonetisation and GST were like a commando-style “double tap” killing the Indian economy. GST had unleashed a tsunami of tax terrorism, he said, assuring industry that his party stands for “reforming, changing and simplifying the GST.”

Speaking at the 112th annual session of the PHD Chamber of Commerce, an industry body in north India, Mr. Gandhi said, “Commandos in a hostage situation fire what is called a ‘double tap’ — two quick shots fired in the chest to ensure that their target is down, is dead. Modi ji and his government have fired a double tap at the heart of our economy. First ‘notebandi’ (demonetisation), bang! and then GST, bang! has crippled our economy.”

Describing the note ban as a “Modi Made Disaster,” he said the PM was “personally responsible for wiping out 86% of the cash and used his vast powers to unleash terror on citizens.”

“The trust in this government is dead. For some reason the PM and his government are absolutely convinced that every single person in India is a thief,” the Congress leader said.
