New Delhi: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Rajya Sabha member Subramanian Swamy on Wednesday called the Goods and Services Tax (GST), considered a major tax reform, as the biggest madness of the 21st century. He has said that the country will have to move forward with an annual growth rate of 10% to become a 'superpower' by 2030.

Rajya Sabha MP Swamy said, "How will we achieve that 3.7% (efficiency factor required for investment use)". For this, we need to fight corruption and other investors need to be rewarded. Do not terrorize investors through income tax and GST, which is the biggest madness of the 21st century."
