The CPI(M) on Tuesday blamed the NDA Government for the Parliamentary logjam over the GST Bill and said “certain sections in the ruling dispensation” was sabotaging it.
“We have told the BJP to call an all-party meeting on the GST issue but it has not been called yet. We suspect the Government itself is sabotaging GST, a section in the Government is against the GST,” said CPI(M) secretary general Sitaram Yechury, while addressing the media.
Yechury accused the BJP for setting agenda outside Parliament so that the House does not function.
“When Parliament Session is on, incidents which divert attention is not undertaken by the Government normally. Whatever happened in Arunachal, Delhi CM office, are indications in this direction. But then what happened in Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh, lalit Modi issue in RajasthanIJ
“On the one hand they are saying the Opposition is not allowing the GST Bill to pass, on the other hand everybody knows it was opposed by then Gujarat CM Narendra Modi,” the CPI(M) leader said targeting the Prime Minister.
Yechury said since Parliament was not functioning, the ruling party thought “they are not accountable”.
“Government’s own action leads to that GST Bill will not be passed,” Yechury said.
