Overview

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the implementation of next-generation GST reforms in Itanagar and said the GST Bachat Utsav begins immediately.
  • He described the rationalisation as a festival-season "double bonanza" for shoppers, framing the move as consumer-friendly relief.
  • At the Itanagar event, Modi met artisans and entrepreneurs selling local goods and handed out 'Garv se Kaho Yeh Swadeshi Hai' placards.
  • Shopkeepers who received the placards said they would display them in their stores to highlight locally made products.
  • BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, speaking in Mandi, called the reforms a "landmark decision" toward Viksit Bharat and said they could boost Himachal’s khadi, Ayurveda and organic industries with central support.
