Modi should have attended Rajya Sabha as it discussed GST: Sibal

Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Wednesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi should have ensured his presence in the Rajya Sabha when the GST Bill was taken up for discussion and vote.

"It would have been good had the Prime Minister, who was keen on the bill, been present in the house," Sibal told reporters outside Parliament House after the Goods and Services Tax Bill was passed by the upper house.

He wished "all the best" to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley after the bill was passed.
