Depriving states of GST compensation against cooperative federalism: Mamata

The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written to PM Modi that denial of GST Compensation to states is against the spirit of cooperative federalism. She has urged that ‘insufferable blow’ should not be caused to the federalist polity of the country. She also referred to late ArunJaitely’s comment that BJP was opposing GST implementation only because it doesn’t trust the Centre in “honouring compensation” of GST losses to the states. She further said that these words of Late Arunjaitely are proving to be correct now since states are losing trust on the BJP government at the Centre in honouring the solemn promise of fully compensating GST losses.
