For years, the government has pushed the narrative that states are blocking GST rate cuts on life and health insurance. Citizens were told: “We want to help, but the states won’t agree.” Yet suddenly, reforms sail through smoothly. So, what changed? Simple: when Modi ji wants something, it happens. When he doesn’t, excuses are manufactured. Here’s why this double standard is infuriating:
1. The 8 PM Superpower
Demonetisation proved that if Modi ji wants, he can change the nation overnight with a single announcement. But when it comes to lowering GST on essentials like insurance, suddenly his powers vanish?
2. States as Convenient Scapegoats
For years, the excuse was: “States are not agreeing.” But magically, when elections or politics demand it, states fall in line. Clearly, the problem wasn’t states — it was intent.
3. Insurance = Common People’s Safety Net
Life and health insurance isn’t a luxury; it’s survival. Taxing it heavily means punishing citizens for protecting themselves. If Modi ji truly cared about the middle class, this would’ve been a priority long ago.
4. Selective Willpower = Selective Reforms
When it’s about controlling citizens (demonetisation, lockdowns, Aadhaar linking), decisions are instant and ruthless. But when it’s about helping citizens, suddenly there’s endless “deliberation.”
5. The Truth: Not Can’t, But Won’t
Let’s be blunt: if Modi ji isn’t cutting GST on life and health insurance, it’s not because he can’t. It’s because he won’t. And citizens should stop accepting excuses dressed as helplessness.
👉 Final Word:
Don’t be fooled. Modi ji has the power to change anything overnight. If something isn’t changing, it’s because he doesn’t want it to.
🔥 Hard Truth: When there’s political gain, GST reforms happen. When there’s only public pain, silence happens.
