President Prashant Patel said the BJP Government implement 28% GST on 287 basic items which increased inflation. The poor and middle class suffers a lot with the decision. GST affects the medium and small scale industries and businessmen suffers. In short the wheel economy is directly affected by the decision.

He further said that during UPA rule they want to implement GST in the slab of 5 to 18% but BJP as opposition protested. Now after they came to the centre they implement it from 5 to 28% without even thinking about the consequences.
