YS Jagan assured handloom traders over GST

Vijayawada, June 17: The YSR Congress President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has assured the weaver community and cloth merchants here on Friday, that he would fight for them and ensure that the 10 per cent GST imposed on finished clothes is waived.

YS Jagan, who is currently touring YSR Kadapa district, said that it was wrong on the part of the Government to impose 5 per cent on cotton and 10 percent on finished goods. He said this will badly affect the already hit handloom sector.

He said he would write a letter to the Centre and said that Chandrababu Naidu was not even concerned about the plight of the weavers.

He said AP's finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu is a member of GST council but did not bother to raise the issue of handloom weavers.
