Chandigarh/New Delhi, June 30 (IBNS): Haryana finance minister Captain Abhimanyu said there is no reason to delay the implementation of Goods and Services Tax, at a time when several opposition parties are criticising the central government for hurried launch of the single taxation system, according to NDTV.

Capt. Abhimanyu was quoted as saying, "We are prepared for initial hiccups".

Haryana is a Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled state.

The biggest tax reform since Independence, Goods and Services Tax (GST) will roll out on July 1.

Several opposition parties like Congress, Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Left boycotted the GST celebration on June 30 midnight, to be organised by the government.

Opposition has cited the unprepared small and medium scale industry as the reason for their boycott. They called it an implementation in hurry.

Attacking the Modi government for lack of foresight in the GST implementation, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi called the biggest tax reform a 'tamasha' (drama).

President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present at the celebration.
