Modi bowed to public pressure, says Rahul Gandhi

The Congress Vice President hit out at the attitude of Modi government, saying, “This is not the normal way of transacting business. He should naturally talk to the Opposition. But the talks which are happening with the Congress President and Manmohan Singh ji is due to public pressure. This is not the normal way of transacting business,” Gandhi said.

With government and Congress at loggerheads over the passage of legislations like the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill, Modi on Friday reached out to the main opposition and invited Sonia Gandhi and Singh for tea at his Race Course Road residence at 7 pm.

Rahul also maintained that the party was in favour of passage of GST bill but made it clear that there were differences with the government regarding the issue. Congress wants a cap to be put on the tax, said Rahul Gandhi.
