The Congress party on Thursday termed the Goods and Services Tax (GST) overhaul as “GST 1.5” and claimed that the wait for a "true GST 2.0" continues.
Jairam Ramesh said that the Goods and Simple Tax has turned into Growth Suppressing Tax.
The party said that the key demand of the states demanding the extension of compensation for another five years to fully protect their revenues remained unaddressed.
