samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav Monday raised sharp questions about the BJP government’s plan for distributing the profits earned from the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

In a post on his WhatsApp channel, Yadav asked 10 pointed questions regarding the fate of the amount collected through GST over the past eight years.Yadav alleged that the BJP government “looted the public for 10 years through heavy taxes” and now, when they are feeling rejected by the masses, the ruling party is now trying to woo people with token sops.

“The BJP government entangled businesses and traders in a flawed GST. The government made huge profits through high GST and allowed profiteering,” Yadav said.

While the government maintains that GST reforms are intended to simplify the tax structure, reduce prices, and spur economic growth. However, the opposition parties, including the SP and Congress, have dismissed the government’s move, calling it “inadequate” and nothing more than a “Band-Aid solution.”
