Guys, any ideas when the GoI will implement the Goods and services tax? Seriously waiting on this reform, within 18 months it will be adding 0.9-1.7% GDP growth a year alone!!

If Modi is serious about reforming the indian economy and easing the ability to do business in india then this has to happen ASAP. This current state of unproductively in goods and services needs to end.

GST would require a constitutional amendment with 50% total strength , not present and voting, in both house separately + It would require to be passed by at least 50% of states to come into effect. BJP could muster numbers in Lok Sabha, but not in Rajya Sabha today. But by 2016, the effect of BJP's win in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan,Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Haryana would make Rajya Sabha as, NDA majority.

Also probable win in Delhi, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttranchal, and Himanchal may make 50% state no for BJP.

So GST would be implemented by 2016's end. Before that it could be implemented, if Congress co-operates.

GST requires a constitutional amendment which Modi cannot pass in the Rajya Sabha since he does not have majority there.

If BJP wins the states that is going into elections in the next 5-6 months then GST will be come a reality by Mid 2015. Else it will take up to 2017.

No it would take at least till mid 2016 if BJP wants to push it on it's own steam. It takes time for state election victory to be reflected in Rajya Sabha.

If this is of any measure of electoral success, Jammu and Kashmir is close be conquered!!!! Over 1 lac people are said to have attended a Modi rally at Kishtwar, J&K!

Thanks for the replies guys! 2016/17 isn't a disaster but I was hoping for sooner because, like I said, this would add some serious steam to India's GDP growth rate (then we could actually see 9-10% growth ).

Narendra Modi's popularity sees invites waiting from all over the world

NEW DELHI: PM Modi's connect with the Indian community abroad has brought in more invites for the BJP leader. On a day he blogged about his recently concluded visits to Myanmar, Australia and Fiji, saying that the world wanted to connect with India, BJP leaders confirmed that there were invites waiting for Modi from all over the world. The PM has already confirmed his visit to Germany in April 2015.

"Informally, everyone is asking. There is the UK, Canada, South Africa... They all want Modiji to visit. He has established a tremendous connect with the people, more so following his trips to the US and Australia," said Vijay Chauthaiwale, who was recently appointed head of Foreign and Overseas Friends of BJP cell. There is pressure, especially from the UK that has 1.5 million people of Indian origin (PIO), including Gujaratis, he added.

"They want Modiji to be there at January-end. They have already planned a huge reception for him — an event that will outdo the ones at Madison Square Garden in the US and Olympic Park in Sydney," another BJP leader told ET, adding there was a proposal for the PM to unveil a statue of Mahatma Gandhi on his death anniversary on January 30.

BJP leaders like Ram Madhav and Chauthaiwale are in touch with key people of the Indian community in the UK who could help mobilise efforts, they said, adding that London-based Gujarati solicitor Manoj Ladwa is playing a crucial role in organising Modi's trip. Ladwa was closely involved in BJP's Lok Sabha campaign too, managing the party's messaging and communication strategy. Seshadri Chari, a member of BJP's foreign policy wing, said it is not just the Indian community abroad that wants to connect with Modi but also the governments of various countries.

Gst can be passed by a joint session of Parliament. That is one trick they can use. But con party will be screaming fowl after that. There are other parties in RS like amma and BJD etc which can get the bill passed. Let's see how the whole thing turns out to be.

Shiv Sena & BJP joining together soon

Constitutional amendments could not be passed in Join sessions. They need to be passed separately.

Yup
Constitution has been amended 94 times - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site

But the trick can be used for other bills.
Edit: just saw the RS composition. Huge cluster fox that is. I would be amazed if any bill got passed from it.

just out of curiosity - is there something that is not amendable or absolute in constitutional provisions?

No, technically the whole constitution can be rewritten or replaced by a new one.

‪#‎MufflerMan‬ Poem (LOL Man)

Muffler man, Muffler man, Does whatever nobody can, Spins a lie any size, Only U-turns in his flight,Look out, Here comes the muffler man.

Is he right? Listen bud, He’s got raita in his blood, He can spread it all around, Can give dharna on any ground, Hey, there
There goes the muffler man.

In the chilly winter days, Wherever the media stays, At the drop of a hat, 'Sab mile huye hain' he plays.

Muffler man, muffler man, Blames modi all the time, Wants the votes in his name, 49 days is his record. TRP is his reward.

To him, life is a great big conspiracy,
Modi for PM, Kejri for CM is his ecstasy,

He is the muffler man. He is the Muffler Man. (based on Spiderman theme song
Spiderman theme song)

No, technically the whole constitution can be rewritten or replaced by a new one.

The Supreme Court has held that the basic tenets of the constitution cannot be ammened by any act of parliament. Some parts of the constitution cannot be touched even if the whole of the paliament wanted to.

That is Judicial over reach, plain and simple. Common sense dictates that nothing is permanent. Not the world around us and not the situation within us.
