At the release of a book titled Ground Scorching Tax by Arun Kumar,Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi  said that the implementation of GST was about “egos”and it was executed hastily since Prime Minister Narendra Modi wanted to have his “tryst with midnight speech”.He added that here could have been a methodology of a pilot or a six-month trial run for GST which would have led to nitty gritty details that could have inspired to defer and recast it.
Referring to Union minister Jayant Sinha’s comments after the implementation of Goods and Services Tax where he called it a ‘grand Indian wedding’, Singhvi said it was a “strange wedding where the bride was sad and unhappy, groom miserable, and the baraat depressed and only the purohit was very happy and interestingly, the same purohit, when he did a wedding on a smaller scale in Gujarat, was heavily opposed to this idea.
