DIRECTIONS (Qs. 1-7): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/ phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

The crucial question about how and where auditors should get access to GST data continues to hang fire, even as hundreds of CAG auditors are being put through specialised training in anticipation of the implementation of the new tax regime from July 1. Various government officials, including ministers, have been insisting that the proposed tax regime will come into force as scheduled. The GST Network (GSTN), which is the nationwide electronic backbone of the tax regime, will go live for testing in early May.

For full implementation of the GST regime, to decide the compensation for States and to determine their revenue share, auditors of the CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) will require access to two different datasets, which are proving difficult to come by. One of them is data pertaining to revenue that would accrue to States from alcohol and petrochemicals, both of which are outside GST for now. The second issue of where and how CAG auditors will get access to the GST data continues to vex officials. Senior officials say the government needs to quickly settle it.

An official pointed out that the GSTN has refused to give the CAG access to its network, saying it is only holding the data in a fiduciary capacity since the tax data originally belongs to the Centre and States. Officials also pointed out that the GSTN is owned by a private company, and thus cannot be audited by CAG. “The government will have to sort it out, or we would have serious problem on our hands,” another senior official said. The GSTN claims it is a private company as 51% stake in the company is held by private companies such as HDFC and ICICI Bank. The CAG has pointed out in official communications in recent times that under the new Companies Act, GSTN can be counted as government-controlled company since its strategic control will be with the government. Like any PSU, the CAG could depute chartered accountants to audit GSTN. “But that is a minor issue. The real issue is where would auditors get access to the data,” he said.

“We are not so much interested in auditing GSTN, but the real issue to be sorted out is the massive tax data from all over the country that GSTN’s network will have,” he said. Accessing the data at various points — point of manufacture, point of sale etc. —would make the GST audit a complicated and almost impossible task, and will hamper other functions, which would include CAG certification about the share of GST for States. 
Centralised location
“There is no way out, other than auditors getting access to the entire GST data in a centralised location. Don’t forget the fact that all that tax data, whether it belongs to States or Centre, is already available to CAG under existing constitutional provisions,” the official said. Meanwhile, the auditors would be using data available from individual States to assess their share of taxes earned from alcohol and petrochemicals, which would be kept out of GST. Under the agreed terms, the States will be given full compensation for the first five years for any shortfall in revenue because of GST. The States’ revenue in 2015-16 will be used as the basis for calculating the compensation, with an assumption of 14% revenue growth in the subsequent five years. The total revenue of a State would be the total of income of States and local bodies from sales tax, value added tax, purchase tax, central sales tax, octroi etc.

DIRECTIONS (Qs. 1-6): In the passage given below there are blanks which are to be filled with the options given below. Find out the appropriate word in each case which can most suitably complete the sentence without altering the meaning of the statement.

In contrast to the nationalistic thrust of the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) campaign is completely centred on local issues and on egalitarian deliveries that the state government has made in the past five years. Arvind Kejriwal has been politically
(A)............. and while he has been critical of the government for its CAA-NRC pincer, he has not championed the cause of protesters. He in fact, neither visited Shaheen Bagh nor Jawaharlal Nehru University. Smartly, he has lent support to students of the university too, but did not wear their cause on his sleeve. Kejriwal has made a conscious bid to insulate (B)........................... It is evident that he was aware that the BJP, bereft of local issues and floundering on the economic front at the national level, would eventually replay its old tracks. The BJP has done this amply. (C) Before Shah’s statement eliciting people’s anger, Modi has infamously asserting that the agitators could be “recognised” by the “clothes, they wear.” Furthermore, at a recent party event, he said there was no need to pursue inclusive politics. The BJP’s task has become more difficult because it cannot criticise Kejriwal for his largesse and consistent distribution of freebies to the people. (D) The BJP government at the Centre, it may be front, publicised its micro-economic deliveries to offset it failure on the macro-economic recalled. Kejriwal is also not very consultative on party matters and has at times appeared to mirror Modi in terms of persona and work style. He has learnt his lessons and jettisoned the image of being of a whiner and someone given to disrupting governance. The BJP missed reading what Kejriwal was upto in the months leading the polls and appears certain to pay the price for this. The BJP will certainly hope for a split in the anti-BJP vote and wish the Congress (E) garners enough votes in every constituency to give it a fighting chance. But the Congress remains (F)............ at the local level as well as nationally. Since 2013 when the AAP made a transition from being a movement to a party, the polity in the Capital has become progressively bipolar. With the Congress having done little to reverse this process and secure the confidence of voters, it remains headed for benches reserved for also-rans. It is  important for Modi and the BJP to regain political momentum because another reverse in the capital will hamper poll preparations in Bihar. With the Northeast already in ferment over CAA the stakes for the BJP have become bigger. There are still several days before Delhi goes to the polls and importantly, Modi is yet to get into campaign mode. But, the AAP has a captive support base which may well be guide.

(II) She was ............. enough to realize that Ed is just doing his mother’s bidding.

(D) The BJP government at the Centre, it may be front, publicised its micro-economic deliveries to offset it failure on the macro-economic recalled. Kejriwal is also not very consultative on party matters and has at times appeared to mirror Modi in terms of persona and work style. He has learnt his lessons and jettisoned the image of being of a whiner and someone given to disrupting governance. The BJP missed reading what Kejriwal was upto in the months leading the polls and appears certain to pay the price for this. The BJP will certainly hope for a split in the anti-BJP vote and wish the Congress (E) garners enough votes in every constituency to give it a fighting chance. But the Congress remains (F)............ at the local level as well as nationally. Since 2013 when the AAP made a transition from being a movement to a party, the polity in the Capital has become progressively bipolar. With the Congress having done little to reverse this process and secure the confidence of voters, it remains headed for benches reserved for also-rans. It is  important for Modi and the BJP to regain political momentum because another reverse in the capital will hamper poll preparations in Bihar. With the Northeast already in ferment over CAA the stakes for the BJP have become bigger. There are still several days before Delhi goes to the polls and importantly, Modi is yet to get into campaign mode. But, the AAP has a captive support base which may well be guide.

Which of the following phrases should fill the blank in (B) to make it contextually correct and meaningful?

In contrast to the nationalistic thrust of the BJP, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) campaign is completely centred on local issues and on egalitarian deliveries that the state government has made in the past five years. Arvind Kejriwal has been politically
(A)............. and while he has been critical of the government for its CAA-NRC pincer, he has not championed the cause of protesters. He in fact, neither visited Shaheen Bagh nor Jawaharlal Nehru University. Smartly, he has lent support to students of the university too, but did not wear their cause on his sleeve. Kejriwal has made a conscious bid to insulate (B)........................... It is evident that he was aware that the BJP, bereft of local issues and floundering on the economic front at the national level, would eventually replay its old tracks. The BJP has done this amply.
