The Bharatiya Janata Party launched a nationwide seven-day campaign on Monday called the GST Savings Festival. All party MPs and workers must visit local markets through September 29 to promote new tax benefits. The program coincides with the GST 2.0 rollout, which creates a simplified two-tier structure and reduces rates on more than 375 products. Prime Minister Modi announced this celebration during his Sunday speech, calling it a savings festival for every Indian citizen. Party members will conduct morning and evening marches while distributing flowers and placards promoting Indian-made goods to shopkeepers.
The initiative combines tax awareness with a parallel Swadeshi Campaign that encourages the purchase of domestic products. Workers will carry banners during their walks and present specially designed promotional materials in regional languages. The party leadership requires MPs to submit detailed reports of their constituency activities to state and central offices. Modi emphasized that these reforms will benefit poor families, middle-class households, small businesses, women, and young people. The new tax rates make food items, medicines, and household products more affordable for consumers across the nation.
