NEW DELHI: Interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, during a virtual meeting with six Chief Ministers, including West Bengal’s Mamata Banerjee and Maharashtra’s Uddhav Thackeray, on Wednesday termed the compulsory GST compensation not being paid to the States as “betrayal” on the part of the Narendra Modi government. “There are two issues related to the Centre and the States and the Parliament is scheduled in next three weeks, so we should have a coordinated approach,” Sonia Gandhi said. The Congress leader said that GST compensation is a big issue and paying it on time is crucial. “And I know it is not happening on time. The finances of the States are badly affected,” she said.
