The state finance minister Etela Rajender has said on Wednesday that the Telangana government will call an assembly session this month to pass the Constitution Amendment Bill on Goods and Services Tax.
The minister has recalled that members belonging to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti in the Parliament had supported the bill and noted that the chief minister had assured the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has recently addressed a public meeting at Gajwel, of the state's backing to GST.
The minister has also told that already the chief minister had convened a meeting, and it was decided to summon the Assembly as early as possible and has urgently passed it.
It is stated that during his maiden visit to Telangana on August 7 after becoming the Prime Minister, Modi had acknowledged the support of TRS for the GST Bill and Bihar yesterday has become the first non-NDA state to ratify the Bill.
