Rahul propagating 'grand stupid thought' of capping GST at 18%: Modi

LATEST
NEWS : Continuing his high decibel campaign in
poll-bound Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress
leader Rahul Gandhi for calling GST
'Gabbar Singh Tax' and said those who looted the country could only think of
dacoits.
In a stinging rebuttal to Gandhi's repeated criticism of the
Goods and Services Tax, a key economic reform of the NDA government, Modi said
a recently emerged "economist" was propagating a "grand stupid
thought" by suggesting that GST rate be capped at 18 per cent.
Making a fresh bid for power in his home state, where the
BJP has ruled for over two decades, Modi also listed various development works
by the government on water conservation, agriculture and development of the
Saurashtra region.

Addressing a huge rally in Morbi town in the region, which
goes to polls in the first phase on December 9, he accused the Congress of
taking credit for minor schemes, like providing hand-pumps, while saying that
the BJP rule brought in major works like the Narmada project.
Making a strong appeal to the people to vote for the BJP in
this Patidar community stronghold, Modi said his party should not be voted out
for 100 years.
"Today, some so-called smart people, some new
economists have emerged who are misleading people," he declared in his
speech in Gujarati.
"Those who have looted people throughout their life,
they can only remember dacoits," Modi said in a reply to Gandhi's 'Gabbar
Singh Tax' jibe, recalling the iconic villain from the Bollywood blockbuster
"Sholay".
