PATNA: 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 and should be removed from his post.
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.
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 everyday…,” Sinha told reporters on the sidelines of an event organised by former Bihar speaker Uday Narayan Choudhary on reservation.
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. (AGENCIES)
