Patna,
Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad today demanded an immediate rollback of the GST and demonetisation claiming the two decisions by the Narendra Modi government had forced an “economic emergency” on the country.

Lalu, who filed his nomination for elections to the party president’s post, alleged that changes in the GST regime proved that the NDA government had “realised its mistake”. “Similarly, demonetisation caused unparalleled damage to the country’s fiscal health… Millions of jobs have been lost and innumerable small businesses were forced to shut shop. It, as such, is the RJD’s duty to unite secular parties for pushing the communal forces out of power,” he said.
