GST and demonetisation are being blamed for the current state of the Indian economy.
And with Gujarat and Himachal going to the polls soon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP have been trying to put some distance between them and the tax.
Modi has of late been saying GST was first the Congress's idea.
The Congress of course has been trying to do the opposite -- lay the blame squarely at the BJP's door.
