Allahabad: Indicating that the long-pending GST Bill can see a forward movement in the next session of Parliament, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday expressed confidence that legislation activity can proceed at a faster pace with the increase in strength of those parties which support bills in the Rajya Sabha and do not obstruct.
The fact is that BJP and NDA and a lot of other parties which support legislation and do not obstruct have increased their numbers. I am hopeful legislation activity can proceed much more now, he told reporters.
Jaitley parried questions over RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, whose continuation has been strongly opposed by BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, and said "We do not discuss these matters through media."
Asked if he will approach AIADMK, which has opposed the GST bill but is seen to be more open to the governments push, he said, As far as AIADMK is concerned we have talked to them in past and will definitely speak to them again.
