The state of Rajasthan goes to polls in barely three weeks and ahead of that CNBC-TV18 traveled to Kishanhgarh Mandi, the biggest marble market in Asia, to get a sense of how the business is doing after the goods and services tax (GST).

Three years ago, the market used to sell goods worth Rs 4,200 crore and today that number is down to Rs 3,400 crore. What do marble traders have to say about GST, demonetisation and are they happy with schemes for MSMEs.

GST is a sour point with traders at the Kishanhgarh Mandi. The state government also says that they put a lot of emphasis on MSMEs in the last five years. The traders here feel otherwise. They say, either those schemes have not had any impact on the ground or they are yet to take off.
