Rahul Gandhi's relentless attack on the government continued on Tuesday with the Congress vice president comparing the "Congress GST" and the "Modi GST". Rahul, on his Twitter handle, posted that the Narendra Modi-led government's GST, which he calls 'Gabbar Singh Tax', was about snatching away people's earnings.

Rahul had on Monday dubbed the GST as "BJP's Gabbar Singh Tax" at a public meeting in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

"The government ignored all our suggestions on the GST and introduced it with celebrations at midnight. In their GST, there is the highest 28 per cent tax and three return forms that makes the GST Gabbar Singh Tax," Rahul said.

By bringing "Gabbar Singh" into the whole GST debate, Rahul literally touched the raw nerve of the already weary people, especially those who are active on social media.

#GabbarSinghTax--trended on Twitter and the twitterati came up with creative jokes to mock the GST.

"#Sholay revisited, this time it's about the #GabbarSinghTax," former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah tweeted.

Immediately after the GST was launched, PM Modi called it "Good and Simple Tax" to stress on the fact that how the latest tax regime is easy for all to adopt.
