Gandhi said Modi imposed demonetisation last year on a personal whim, pushing lakhs of people into distress. And if this was not enough, he introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in a tearing hurry. "The GST was brought by the Congress, but there was a ceiling of 18 per cent and did not have five slabs like the present. We requested the government to go slow, but they just would not listen." He called the Modi government anti-poor and said it was working against the interests of the common people. (Image: File)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Kedarnath on Friday, a day before the portals of the Himalayan shrine close for the winters.
