Trivedi said, “Those who are calling GST a political decision are wrong. They should step aside from their political perspective and appreciate it.”

Responding to a question, Trivedi said that the government is working to make the new GST rates accessible to the public.

Regarding the question of making diesel and petrol GST-free, Trivedi said that this decision is taken by the GST Council and requires the consent of all governments.

Targeting the opposition over allegations of vote-rigging, Trivedi said the opposition often accused EVMs of being hacked, but when they win seats, they stop making such claims. He added that the hue and cry about vote-rigging is nothing more than propaganda.
