The passage of the constitution amendment bill in the current monsoon session of Parliament is crucial for the Government to meet the 1st April 2016 GST rollout deadline.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Sunday lambasted the Congress party for its obstruction tactics inside the parliament and added that the main opposition party’s attitude can hurt the Indian economy.
“The Congress party and its leader may be upset with the Government for political reasons. They may be upset with the electorate for the 2014 verdict. The Congress party should accept and seriously introspect after having ruled the country for the longest period of time that negativism hurts the country,” the Finance Minister said in his post on social media website Facebook.
To break the logjam in the parliament, the NDA government has called an all-party meeting on Monday.

It may be recalled that the Congress-led opposition has not allowed the parliament to function properly during the ongoing monsoon session, demanding the resignation of external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
In addition, the Congress, the CPM, the CPI and the AIADMK have given a dissent note in the final select committee panel report on the GST bill submitted in the Rajya Sabha in July.
