Finance Bill classic case of patchwork solutions, says Shashi Tharoor

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Monday criticised the Finance Bill saying it is a “classic case of patchwork” and India’s GST is the “most complex tax” in world, even as BJP’s Nishikant Dubey defended it asserting that Congress’ agenda is to oppose everything without looking at the positives.

Initiating the debate on the Finance Bill in Lok



Sabha, Tharoor alleged that the BJP government’s economic management is facing structural challenges. “The Finance Minister’s Budget speech in this house reminded me of the garage mechanic who said I couldn’t fix your brakes, so I made the horn louder but looking at the Finance Bill, she is now saying to taxpayers, I couldn’t repair the roof but I brought you an umbrella.
