TRS working president and Minister K.T. Rama Rao yet again targeted the Prime Minister Narendra Modi questioning the huge gap between his ideas and actions.
This time, he questioned the Central government’s decision to increase the GST on handlooms and textiles from 5% to 12% when Mr. Modi himself has been speaking of strengthening the handlooms sector. In a tweet, KTR urged the Prime Minister to reduce the GST on handlooms and textiles or else the industry will face crisis.
“Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, on the National Handloom Day you had talked of strengthening #Vocal for handmade. On the contrary to the idea, your government has enhanced GST on Handlooms and Textiles from 5 percent to 12 percent, which will be a death knell for the industry. Request you to intervene and save the weavers,” he tweeted.
