Sure, but that is one hell of an anticipation if he predicted that since 2002. I hear they were close even before that...
Look everybody knows Jaitley is close to Modi but thats not the point of contention here

Who is he more closer to Modi or Gandhi ?
To the Congress? Not a chance. Jaitley has no wish to commit political suicide, the guy is a BJP guy from way back, no point in attempting to tarnish him with that brush.

I would like to believe its Modi.
Anyway my personal biases against Jaitley is not what matters here why still keep him as FM when he has underperformed and you know very well that your re election prospects are directly proportional to state of economy by 2019

The three key economic reforms it was believed Modi would push through were: land reforms, labour reforms and the goods and services tax. Land reforms have been put on the back burner. Labour reforms never really took off (there have been some minor moves in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, two states which barely have any industry). And so many compromises have been made in the bid to get it passed, that it is better that the Goods and Services Tax does not get passed in its current shape.He will stay as FM till the end of this term. Can't say the same after 2019 though.. Modi would have grown out of his compulsions by then!
I think it's getting to him actually! Off late I see him giving a lot of anti-congress & anti-Gandhi bites!tbh, so many people are claiming so many thinks about that 1 man i will reserve my judgements until later...![]()

Considering the amount of people which are being ragdolled inside the govt. ministries, he may leave if he does not perform...

If they continue going the way they currently are, Modi and BJP might end up with a majority in the Rajya Sabha, only to lose to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. And that is something the country cannot afford. Because then the BJP will behave like the Congress is now.
Things are changing.. & Modi is exerting his control more & more! There have been few direct interventions by the PMO in the past month or so.. whether replacing ED head or transferring various secretaries including finance one! This is only the indication of what's going to come!Considering the amount of people which are being ragdolled inside the govt. ministries, he may leave if he does not perform...
Look i am no economist but here in iim they make us read business-line every morning from 9:30-10 and with that reading experience over the past many months i can tell you he has grossly underperformed
and not even god could have pushed through GST , if he came down.... as for the 2019 doom and gloom, not gonna happen if BIhar is won....
Even when the tax is eventually implemented, concessions made to win support from states mean many of the obstructions to a customs union will stay.
For example, while the GST will be collected on goods and services in states where they are consumed, Mr Jaitley allowed a 1 percent additional levy on the cross-border transport of goods to please states with large manufacturing bases.
Items such as alcohol, tobacco and petrol have been kept out of the new tax bill. States have also been given the flexibility to fix their GST rates within a band, providing arbitrage in the inter-state movement of goods.
