“ Your condition was in the room ”: Nirmala Sitharaman says that the decisions of the TPS were collective, not at the center of the Chennai event

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman threw the glove in Chennai when he asked him questions about TPS rates. “Not a single TPS rate has been increased,” she said, directly targeting what she called “false propaganda”. Although open to the rate reductions in essential elements – “yes, we can try to reduce it further” – it clearly indicated that disinformation would not be undisputed.

What about the game of blame? She didn’t. “Then, if someone has a complaint, and immediately said:” Oh, it was the Modi government that did this “-then you should ask the ministers of finance of your own state:” did you oppose it? ” Have you raised an objection? Even then, was it passed? You have to ask that, right?

Sitharaman answered a question during a Chennai event to find out if TPS rates had increased since its implementation. His response was frank: “Even only one rate was not increased. Sit in this. “

She recognized that some citizens wanted a drop in TPS on essential elements of everyday and said that the government would continue to work in this direction. “If you want this to be still reduced, we will try-in particular on the articles for daily use used by ordinary people,” she said.

But it made a strong exception to online complaints comparing pre and post-TPS tax rates. “I know that many people put publications on social media by comparing tax rates before and after the GTS. If we look at them carefully, we will understand – this propaganda is false. ”

The Minister stressed that TPS decisions are never unilateral. “Each TPS decision is made with the involvement of all ministers. Congress is there. DMK is there. The Communist Party is there. Telugu of the Am was there. Ysrcp was there… even today, the members of the Karnataka, Telangana and Western Bengal Congress are part of it. ”

Taking a blow on criticism, she said, “Why did they tax the coconut oil that the poor need? Why did they put on the cookies speak?” This is what people say, she noted. “Someone or the other will say:” They taxed Parliament-G, that the poor eat with tea “. Who taxed him?

She reminded the public that even if such taxes were taken, “all the ministers were seated together. It is not because someone said at random that something does not mean that it is true.”

His last word: “Even if you give an answer to people with a program, they will not be convinced. But we must still continue to repeat it: you were part of TPS decision -making. We are part of it. Not everyone was part of this.
