Batting for GST
The Finance Ministry has appointed actor Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador of the Goods and Services Tax ( GST). A short video clip that the ministry tweeted, in which Bachchan is talking about the new tax regime unifying the national market, created a stir in political circles. Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam, in a tweet, ‘advised’ the actor against promoting the campaign as he believes the country does not have the required infrastructure for the roll-out of GST.
