Attacking the Modi government over the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, Yashvant Sinha also said that ''India was a textbook example of how not to implement GST'', and called for a complete overhaul of the tax regime. ''There is no doubt that GST is the best indirect tax system in the world.

That is the reason why a majority of countries have implemented GST. But someone should write a book ... the way India has implemented GST is a text book example of how not to implement GST. It should be a case study at Harvard, Yale, Princeton ...'' said Sinha. Recalling his article in The Indian Express, in which he had attacked the Modi government’s handling of the economy for the first time, Sinha said some ''changes had been made'' after the article was published.
