GST Bill in Lok Sabha on Monday
The Lok Sabha is set to take up the GST enabling bill for passage on Monday during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will intervene, even as the Centre on Friday continued efforts for its early ratification by the state assemblies.
New Delhi: The Lok Sabha is set to take up the GST enabling bill for passage on Monday during which Prime Minister Narendra Modi will intervene, even as the Centre on Friday continued efforts for its early ratification by the state assemblies.
Giving this information, a Union minister said the measure is likely to be passed the same day. "The Prime Minister will intervene during the debate on the bill in the Lok Sabha," the minister said. The Opposition had attacked Modi for not intervening during the debate on the bill in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh had said this was the first occasion in independent India that the Prime Minister was not present during the passage of a Constitution amendment bill. He had dubbed it as "PM-mukt Parliament".
Meanwhile, the BJP issued a whip to its members in the Lower House to remain present on August 8. Aiming for early implementation of GST, Central ministers have spoken with nine CMs of NDA-ruled states to ensure that the constitutional amendment is ratified by state Assemblies at the earliest.
