Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticised the Modi government after a video of Annapoorna restaurant chain owner Srinivasan allegedly apologising to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman went viral. The video shows Srinivasan, who had requested a simplified GST regime, seemingly humiliated during a public consultation. Gandhi accused the government of disrespecting small business owners, stating that while their requests for a simplified GST system are ignored, billionaires receive preferential treatment. He also highlighted the hardships faced by small businesses due to demonetisation, complex tax systems, and an inaccessible banking structure. “But when the fragile egos of those in power are hurt, it seems humiliation is exactly what they’ll deliver,” Gandhi said. "MSMEs have been asking for relief for years, but this arrogant government refuses to listen," Gandhi said, calling for a simplified GST with a single tax rate to help lakhs of businesses. Annapoorna Group Chairman Srinivasan Allegedly Apologises to Nirmala Sitharaman After Questioning Finance Minister Over GST Complexities, Video Goes Viral.
