When there’s political gain, GST reforms happen. When there’s only public pain, silence happens
For years, the government has pushed the narrative that states are blocking GST rate cuts on life and health insurance. Citizens were told: “We want to help, but the states won’t agree.” Yet suddenly, reforms sail through smoothly. So, what changed? Simple: when Modi ji wants something, it happens. When he doesn’t, excuses are manufactured. Here’s why this double standard is infuriating:
1. The 8 PM Superpower
Demonetisation proved that if Modi ji wants, he can change the nation overnight with a single announcement. But when it comes to lowering GST on essentials like insurance, suddenly his powers vanish?
2. States as Convenient Scapegoats
For years, the excuse was: “States are not agreeing.” But magically, when elections or politics demand it, states fall in line. Clearly, the problem wasn’t states — it was intent.
3. Insurance = Common People’s Safety Net
Life and health insurance isn’t a luxury; it’s survival. Taxing it heavily means punishing citizens for protecting themselves. If Modi ji truly cared about the middle class, this would’ve been a priority long ago.
4. Selective Willpower = Selective Reforms
When it’s about controlling citizens (demonetisation, lockdowns, Aadhaar linking), decisions are instant and ruthless. But when it’s about helping citizens, suddenly there’s endless “deliberation.”
5. The Truth: Not Can’t, But Won’t
Let’s be blunt: if Modi ji isn’t cutting GST on life and health insurance, it’s not because he can’t. It’s because he won’t. And citizens should stop accepting excuses dressed as helplessness.
👉 Final Word:
Don’t be fooled. Modi ji has the power to change anything overnight. If something isn’t changing, it’s because he doesn’t want it to.
🔥 Hard Truth: When there’s political gain, GST reforms happen. When there’s only public pain, silence happens.
