BJP leader Yashwant Sinha launched a fresh attack on the government, saying Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had not applied his mind while rolling out GST and should be removed from his post.
Sinha, said demonetisation has not achieved its goal of flushing black money out of the system.
He also charged the current regime with resorting to lies on the note ban and the new tax regime.
“The finance minister did not apply his mind while rolling out the Goods and Services Tax and that’s why he is tinkering with GST every day…,” Sinha said.
Jaitley, he added, has made a mess of GST. “The prime minister should bring a new finance minister. I am saying this with full responsibility,” Sinha said.
“The government is publicising it as a success but the fact of the matter is that it has not achieved its objective,” Sinha said, adding that he has taken “sanyas” from electoral politics.
