Veteran BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today launched a fresh attack on the government, saying Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had not applied his mind while rolling out GST.
Sinha, who served as finance minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, said demonetisation has not achieved its goal of flushing black money out of the system.
Sinha was speaking with reporters on the sidelines of an event organised by former Bihar speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary on reservation in Patna.
In his view, “tinkering” with the GST will not serve the purpose, what is needed is a complete overhaul.
Both demonetisation and GST have brought down the pace of the economy, he said.
