Congress has done its homework on Nyuntam Aay Yojana: Pawan Kumar Bansal

The GST that the Congress government was trying to bring was simpler and the rates were much lesser than what the current government has fixed, says Bansal

Thronged by early-morning visitors at his plush residence in Sector 28A, Pawan Kumar Bansal, Congress leader and former minister of state for finance and parliamentary affairs in the UPA-I government, talks to Megha Manchanda about the goods and services tax (GST), demonetisation, his party’s minimum income guarantee scheme and his vision for his constituency —­ Chandigarh 

You recently talked about a simpler GST regime. What kind of GST are you talking about?

I am not a man of finance and I only know as a layman that the GST, which this government has introduced, is not ‘one nation one tax’ as claimed
