 "Budget session begins, PM Modi hopes for 'breakthrough' on GST")
With the resumption of the Budget session of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday hoped for a breakthrough on the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill.
"The budget session is resuming and I believe the level of the debate, the level of discussions will go very high and the focus will be on the welfare of the country's poor," Modi said addressing the media here.
"I also hope there will be a breakthrough on the GST Bill. There is a possibility of that because there has been very positive response from the states as well as all political parties," he said.
