Question for today's GST Council Meeting:
How simple is India's GST? Answer in our @bsindia piece is sobering
Nearly 45 distinct rates (Table 1)
Complexity from duty inversion & arbitrary, value- & end-use based classifications (Table 2)
Costs to govt. & taxpayer are huge

The Parliament just passed the Online Gaming Bill - without debate. Since yesterday, my colleague @GuhaDeepro and I spoke to several journalists across leading publications to share our perspective on this move.

#Coolie was an LCU flavoured part-Petta, part-Kabali, and part-Jailer movie that neither exceeds, nor reaches the sum of its parts. Master, Vikram, and Kaithi remain my favourite #LokeshKanagaraj movies.

Not to be that person at all who is insensitive towards the dogs, but one does wish the Constitution as a whole had as many and as fierce defenders. The Election Commission is doing everything in its power to change the files online, avoid accountability and answer legitimate…
The reporters' collective has done a brilliant investigation which revealed that the names of more than 5000 double and dubious voters are present in the Uttar Pradesh voter list as well as in the Bihar SIR Draft 2025, having different EPIC numbers.
Examples in this thread...
Rahul Gandhi presenting evidence of voter fraud will make NO DIFFERENCE to BJP voters.
Why?
Because we Indians are rent-seekers. We think cheating and bending rules to benefit ourselves at cost of others is SMART. Not doing so is being a loser. Fairness is an alien concept.
It's not that Modi's supporters don't believe Rahul Gandhi's revelations. It is that they, like many of those who man institutions like the ECI and courts, believe it is ok for BJP to do anything to stay in power.
Even more dangerous threat I saw yesterday was: ECI who were suppose to reply like “We would investigate, fix the list & punishable those guilty” but instead they are threatening the leader of opposition, they are not hiding it anymore it is a direct threat to the democracy. ☠️
