GST 2.0 a tax revolution.says Nirmala Sitharaman
The New Indian Express
|September 20, 2025
UNION Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday dismissed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's oft-repeated description of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as a "Gabbar Singh tax", asserting that the reform has benefited people and businesses across India. She said this while speaking at an event to mark the 80th anniversary of the Tamil Nadu Foodgrains Merchants' Association in Madurai.

Sitharaman pointed out that GST registrations have grown from 65 lakh in 2017 to 1.5 crore at present. Revenues have risen from 7.19 lakh crore to more than 22 lakh crore over the period. "If GST had truly been a cruel burden as alleged, then its registration and revenue base would not have expanded so significantly," she said.
