New Delhi, Dec 12: Accusing Narendra Modi government of delaying the Bills like Goods and Services Tax (GST), important for economic reforms, Congress on Saturday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is just following the command of its ideologue RSS. Congress leader R S Surjewala said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley deliberately wanted GST not to be passed in the Parliament because of pressure by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.

“The real reason on part of BJP for not passing GST is RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat. He has warned Modi and Jaitley not to pass GST because RSS had opposed GST in the past and that’s why BJP had opposed it in the past,” said R S Surjewala. “Jaitley wants to shift blame on to Congress while dichotomy and differences lies between RSS and BJP,” he added.
