Mr. X: 'We welcome the move to reduce the 
GST rates of several items recently. It will give 
some relief to the common people of India.

Mr. Y: 'To some extent, we don't think that GST 
is giving too much pressure on the daily lifestyle 
of any common people so much. Basically, GST is 
on the mind only due to some politics associated with it. 
For example, say, if we charge extra 1 rupee as a GST on a 
Samosa of 5 rupees, you will start shouting. But, by 
hiding the information about GST, if we tactfully say 
that to maintain the quality of the Samosa and due to rise 
in operating expenses of the shop, we have increased the 
price of Samosa to 6 rupees, then you will quietly 
accept it. So, it is all about mentality and psychology 
getting biased by some negative political campaigns.'”- Arindam Sain
