Kejriwal links inflation with ‘MLA shopping’, claims Centre spent ₹6,300 crore

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday linked the toppling of the state governments with inflation, saying the central government would not have imposed GST on daily essential items. Taking to Twitter, Kejriwal said that the GST on items like curd, buttermilk, honey, wheat, and rice will bring  ₹7,500 crore to the central government’s exchequer every year. He further made an unsubstantiated claim that the central government has spent  ₹6,300 crore on topping the state governments.
