Rs may vote over gst, says arun Jaitley

NEW DELHI: The government has denied any trade-off with parties like the Trinamool Congress and AIADMK on the Goods and Services Tax Bill but insisted it will push for Rajya Sabha voting if the Congress’ opposition persisted. “I will, till the last day, continue to persuade the Congress to see reason so that they don’t go back on the bill they themselves introduced. However, if the Congress persists with its opposition, ultimately a vote in the Rajya Sabha can only decide,” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told a TV news channel. “My intention is not to isolate the Congress,” he added.
