Fight for one GST rate with 18% cap will continue

New Delhi, Nov 11 (UNI) Claiming that it was the pressure exerted by the Congress that led to the GST Council reducing the tax rates on several items from 28% to 18%, party Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said his party's fight for a single GST rate with a cap at 18% would continue.

'India needs a simple GST not a 'Gabbar Singh tax'. The Congress and the public of the country have fought to get the tax rate on several items from 28% to 18%. Our fight for a single GST rate with a cap at 18% will continue. If the BJP does not dop it, the Congress will,' Rahul said in a tweet.

The GST Council on Friday reduced the tax rate on several items from 28% to 18%.
