Will GST be Sonia's 'return gift' to the nation on her birthday?
December 07, 2015
On December 9, Sonia Gandhi will turn 69. The Prime Minister is likely to tweet his wishes and greet her inside the Lok Sabha by making a special mention of the day.
 

Sources tell us that all this is in response to Rahul Gandhi's insistence that the Centre interact with the opposition. And of course, a way of softening up the opposition to get the GST bill passed in the Rajya Sabha.


From Wednesday onwards, there will be an effort from the government to have a structured
debate with the Congress in Parliament, which will be assisted by Officials as well.


The first signs of a detente was spotted when Arun Jaitley went to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's home to invite them to his daughter's wedding, which also coincidentally falls on Wednesday.

So, expect a very thin attendance in Parliamen as thne who's who of nationla politics heads to the Jaitley wedding.
