Delhi: TRS MPs protest over GST on household commodities

Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) MPs on Friday continued their protest over Goods and Services Tax (GST) levied on household products.

The MPs demonstrated near the Lok Sabha Podium demanding the Centre exempt the aforementioned commodities from the purview of GST. Similarly, the TRS MPs in Rajya Sabha protested against the increased prices of refilling gas. A few members of other regional parties joined the TRS in protests.

The government imposed five per cent GST on packed curd, lassi, paneer and buttermilk from July 18. Apart from this, GST has also been implemented on packed and labelled rice, flour and wheat. Quite a few members of the opposition have criticised the Centre’s decision to impose GST on household products.
