Will support GST if Bengal Govt interests protected: Amit Mitra
Trinamool Congress (TMC) will support the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill if the state government’s interests are protected, says West Bengal’s Finance Minister Amit Mitra. He says TMC’s manifesto had proposed a single tax system reflecting the government’s support for GST back in 2009. The minister also says JSW’s failure to set up a steel plant in West Bengal (WB) is not a setback for the government and is hopeful that the plant will be ready within a year.
