Times of India makes a huge blunder and TN Finance Minister laughs at it!
Recently, the 43rd GST Council meeting took place and on behalf of tamil Nadu, tamil Nadu Finance minister Dr.P.ThiagaRajan also attended the meeting. goa Transport minister Mauvin Godinho demanded an apology from tamil Nadu Finance minister P.T.R. Palanivel Thiagarajan for insulting small states, goa in particular, during the 43rd GST meeting chaired by Union Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
While addressing a press conference, Godinho said, "The Finance minister of tamil Nadu should apologize. What is he trying to tell me? That he is against the Constitution of the country? Does he not believe in the Constitution of India? Does he not believe in equality before the law? Does he not believe that whatever your status, whatever your standing in society, whether your constituency comprises of lakhs of voters or a few thousand voters, everybody has got one vote."
This issue came out as TN FM said that more attention should be given to the sentiments of the bigger states, rather than smaller states like Goa. When this issue was posted in the TOI newspaper, they have mentioned Nirmala Sitaraman as tamil Nadu Finance minister instead of PTR and the Finance minister himself tweeted that and laughed about it.
