Jaipur:The Ashok Gehlot government of Rajasthan on Tuesday placed the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Amendment Bill 2021 on the floor of the Legislative Assembly. However, BJP sitting in the opposition opposed the bill and demanded that the bill be referred to a select committee to know the public opinion. Finally, the bill was passed without any opposition.

Responding to the opposition's demand, Rajasthan Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shanti Dhariwal said that the opposition members have demanded to send the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Amendment Bill 2021 to the Select Committee. The government is ready to do that but the opposition must tell why this bill is being opposed. The Congress government did not remove or even add a line. He added that the bill was sent by the central government and has been presented in the house.

When the Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shanti Dhariwal said that the names of those opposing the bill would be sent to the Prime Minister, the opposition members rejected the demand for public opinion and the Rajasthan Goods and Services Tax Amendment Bill 2021 was passed in the assembly with a majority.
