Modi
discusses GST bill with Manmohan, Sonia
New Delhi: Hopes of a thaw on the GST bill emerged on Friday
night, 27th November 2015, with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi
reaching out to the Congress leadership, which will discuss within the party
the government's response to its three objections on the measure.
The government will establish "fresh contact" with the Congress once
the party completes its internal discussion on the three issues of "their
concerns" on which they made their position clear, Finance Minister Arun
Jaitley told reporters after Modi met his predecessor Manmohan Singh and
Congress President Sonia Gandhi.
This is the first direct outreach by Modi to the principal opposition ever since he came to power last year in a bid to ensure smooth functioning of Parliament in the winter session.
Modi had invited Singh and Gandhi for a tea at his residence where the discussions covered issues pending before Parliament, particularly the large number of bills that have accumulated over the past two sessions.
