‘GST On Lassi, Wheat, Rice..’: AAP Appeals Central Govt To Reduce GST

Mumbai: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday appealed to the central government to roll back the increased Goods and Services Tax (GST), saying people want relief from high inflation.

The Delhi chief minister said the central government has imposed GST on curd, lassi, wheat, rice and other food items, adding that “the British used to do this”.

“Nowadays people are troubled by inflation. They (central government) have imposed GST on curd, lassi, wheat, rice and other food items. The British used to do the same. In Delhi, we tried to give some relief to people from inflation,” said AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal while addressing a press conference virtually to the people of Himachal Pradesh on Monday.

“We provided free medical, water, and electricity in Delhi. We are able to do all this because we have eliminated corruption. We have not increased any tax. I appeal to the Central Government to withdraw the increased GST. Make AAP government here in Himachal Pradesh and we, in return, will give you relief from inflation,” said Kejriwal.

Further, the AAP national convener said, “AAP is spreading all over the country and hence many problems will come. But you don’t have to worry. We want you to make an honest government in Himachal Pradesh. We should take our state and country forward.”
