After BSP, JD(U) supports GST

After the Bahujan Samaj Party  (BSP), the Janata Dal-United (JD-U) announced its support to the government’s economic reform measures, including GST on Tuesday.

Attacking the BJP over the issue of ‘Hindu Rashtra’, JD-U’s KC Tyagi cited the low representation of Muslims in political and consitutional posts and castigated some BJP leaders for their ‘Pakistan’ remarks, reminding that Indian Muslims did not go to Pakistan during partition despite having the option. “We support you on GST, Insurance Bill (on raising FDI cap to from 26 49 percent). We totally support you on Coal and Mines (Bills). But you should also ask your 5-6 ministers to cooperate with the Constitution. One says former President Abdul Kalam was Muslim yet he was a nationalist. Is being a Muslim some crime? Another one says those who vote for us are Ramzaade (progenies of Ram) while all others are Haramzaade (bastards). Will you take the revenge of what happened with Hindus in Pakistan with Muslims in India,” asked Tyagi.
