Cong says govt delaying GST implementation
Congress today accused the government of being "insensitive" towards
implementing
"That means they are most insensitive for implementing a very important
enactment like GST, which was brought by us. If at all any blame should
go, it is to the present government, which has delayed implementation of
GST for more than three years," the former Union Minister said.
He said the GST network had rejected CAG's request to name Auditor and
do extra audit. "This has had sad reflection with regard to preparedness
to launch the GST," he said.
Moily said the Budget allocation for defence reflects the "sad affair"
of allocations to the sector.
He said the allocation has been reduced by 5 per cent and this will
"decelerate military modernization and preparedness".
Pointing out to the story of BSF soldier Tej Bahadur, who had put out a
video of the food quality given to soldiers on social media, he said it
reflects the morale of defence forces which is depleting day-by-day with
such incidents.
"It is most unfortunate story, which reflects how the Army has been
managed, how they are not being properly supplied with the rations,
uniforms," he said.
He alleged that Rs 7,000 crore of capital budget in 2016-17 has been
surrendered, "which underlies the structural incapability of this Government to spend even the inadequate allocation. I do not know
whether the Defence Minister is doing his job or not except thumping his
own chest".
"They do not do anything to strengthen the capabilities of their
establishments. India faces conventional war challenges from Pakistan's
F-16s and rapidly modernizing Chinese Air Force.
"The capital outlay has decreased in the fiscal year 2017-18 to Rs 10.5
billion that means 5 per cent decrease from the previous year. This will
decelerate military modernization and preparedness," he said
