"The irony is brutal. Sitharaman's defense "Entertainment tax is a state subject ask state governments." Technically correct constitutionally accurate. But when it comes to GSTwhich IS under central controlthe entertainment sector pays 18-28% on tickets while essentials like packaged food get 5%. The Finance Minister who lectures states about their jurisdiction has zero answers about her own ministry's tax structure that's choking the industry. Classic deflection. 0% accountability 100% arrogance"
