Speaking at a political session organised by
Mizoram BJP
, Hrahmo criticised the govt's inability to implement effective projects, claiming that the few they had executed were classified as 'departmental works', preventing the collection of GST.
"From Jan to June 2025, GST collections have continued to decline. A major issue here is the state's inability to secure project funds from the Centre, which has caused a significant financial gap," Hrahmo said.

Two booked for ₹17 crore tax fraud; ran shell firms in Prayagraj
Two individuals have been accused of tax fraud to the tune of ₹17 crore in Prayagraj, police said. Allegedly, the duo ran shell companies and submitted fake electricity bills with their GST registration documents. (For representation) The fraud came to light when the firms' financial records were being checked by SGST officials last week. The accused men–Vishal Kumar Jaiswal and Mohammad Mohsin–were booked for fraud in separate cases registered in Naini and Jhunsi police stations on Monday, officials added. SGST assistant commissioner Rajendra Singh Yadav had lodged the complaint against Jaiswal, the proprietor of Vikas Enterprises located in Naini. According to the FIR, Vikas had claimed in his GST documents dated July 30, 2024, that his company dealt in hardware, steel and iron trade. Vikas showed an outward supply of ₹6,982.67 lakh through the bill. During their probe, SGST officials found that no such firm existed at the mentioned address. It was found that the electricity bill submitted was forged. Jaiswal received an Input Tax Credit (ITC) of ₹1,254.47 lakh or 12.54 crore without transporting the goods, the FIR stated Similarly, a case was registered in the Jhunsi police station against one Mohammad Mohsin alias Mohammad, the owner of Mohammad Enterprises that was in the scrap business. Mohsin, in his GST papers in December 2024, had shown a turnover of ₹1,690 lakh in 2024-25 and ₹884 lakh in 2025-26. However, the firm was later found to be a shell company.

Mahayuti, BJP disown Jharkhand MP remarks on Marathi manoos
Mumbai: After Jharkhand BJP MP Nishikant Dubey stirred a fresh political row on Monday, saying people in Maharashtra were surviving on their money and those targeting non-Marathi speakers in the state would be thrashed badly again and again, the BJP in Maharashtra and the ruling Mahayuti alliance distanced themselves from the remarks. Ashish Shelar (Hindustan Times) Cultural affairs minister and Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar said that nobody should question the contribution and achievements of the Marathi manoos in the country. While replying to the long duration debate in the assembly, Shelar said he did not want to name the Jharkhand MP as he had not given notice, although he wanted to clear the stand of the state government, the Mahayuti and the BJP. 'The MP should not raise questions over the performance of the Marathi manoos. The contribution of Maharashtra in the national GDP is highest in the country,' Shelar said. The first film in India was produced by a Marathi person and the first army in Indian history was established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, he said. 'We should not be questioned about our contribution….Nobody should say that Maharashtra is surviving on their money,' Shelar said in the assembly. His party and the state government would safeguard Marathi pride and ensure that non-Marathi people living in the state were not disrespected. Mashelkar committee report to be tabled Shiv Sena leader and Marathi language minister Uday Samant on Monday said the government would table the Mashelkar committee report on implementation of the three-language formula under the National Education Policy, 2020. Samant, while speaking in the legislative assembly, reiterated that the government had tried to make Hindi compulsory, but introduce it as a third language in schools. The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Uddhav Thackeray had accepted Masheklar committee's report, which has a paragraph recommending Hindi be made mandatory alongside Marathi and English from class 1 to 12, on February 22, 2022, Samant said. 'The then CM had clearly tweeted on his social media account that the report would be implemented,' he said. The Mashelkar committee report would be tabled in the house and copies of the report would be made available to all MLAs, he added.
