The discussion was scheduled on August 29 but the day before, the government decided to drop it. For the record, top TMC leaders disagree that it had anything to do with the state's relations with the Centre but observers believe otherwise. "We have supported GST since 2009 and Centre-state relations have nothing to do it. It had to be dropped for paucity of time because the change of name of
