GST and the masses

GST if introduced and implemented should benefit the economy and the people, but the way the Govt functions it is difficult for people to take for granted the govt's sincerity and good intentions if any behind it.All these years, the Govt has been fooling the masses and has made life miserable for aam aadmi. The latest is the Planning Commission's submission to the Supreme Court that person earning Rs 32 a day in an urban centre comes above the poverty line reflecting the Govt's insensitiveness to realise the ground realities of the living conditions of the masses and lack of concern for aam aadmi's welfare. The Govt is a miserable failure in combating inflation, corruption black money and bringing in fiscal discipline. GST should not be another modus operandi to favour the rich industrialists at the cost of general public is the fear lingering in the minds of masses. Govt should realise this and take proactive steps to convince that GST would turn out to be good for the masses and the economy.
