The government which expects to pass the GST Bill at the end of a long debate in the Lok Sabha tomorrow has opposition coming up. Quite literally.

The Congress today said the GST Bills in their present form were "not acceptable". However, the party sought to tread cautiously to avoid being seen as against the tax reform measure.

At a key strategy meeting of Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha chaired by party vice president Rahul Gandhi, it was decided to raise the concerns of the public on the GST Bills and seek necessary amendments. According to sources, Gandhi told the members that the party should play the role of a constructive opposition and should not be seen as against the GST legislations. He also told the members to raise the issue of the farmers' distress and press for a farm loan waiver in Parliament.
