The Union government will give the long-pending Goods and Services Tax (GST) Constitution Amendment Bill precedence over the controversial Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, sensing a better chance of passing the former if sequenced that way, sources said here on Wednesday.

The GST Bill’s passage will require a constitutional amendment, which means a two-thirds majority was required in Parliament. The Assemblies too will have to approve the Bill ahead of the April 2016 deadline.
