Citizens are urged to embrace indigenous products in their daily lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The ruling BJP also went on the offensive against Congress and other Opposition leaders for dismissing the reforms. Responding to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge\u2019s criticism, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said, \u201cI think Mallikarjun Kharge needs to understand the entire taxation system once again. There is an economic principle \u2014 lesser the tax, higher the revenue. This principle is accepted across the world. In the time to come, all State governments and Central government will get revenue through this. Kharge ji has little knowledge, so he is unable to understand this math. Since he just has to criticise PM Modi, he is saying this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Echoing that view, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya attacked Opposition leaders for what he called blind criticism of a people-centric reform.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">\u201cThere are leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav who have to oppose even something which is good. The benefits to 140 crore people due to GST savings can be seen neither by Rahul Gandhi nor Akhilesh Yadav or Tejashwi Yadav\u2026 They cannot welcome it but opposing a decision that will benefit 140 crore people of the country is foolishness and negative politics,&#8221; Maurya said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Earlier in the day, in a post on X, PM Modi on Sunday extended greetings to the nation on the occasion of Navratri, calling it a \u201cvery special&#8221; celebration. He said the festival has coincided with the GST Savings Festival, giving fresh momentum to the mantra of Swadeshi. Modi urged citizens to work collectively towards building a developed and Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) India.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">In a post on X, the Prime Minister wrote, \u201cThis time, this auspicious occasion of Navratri is very special. Along with the GST Savings Festival, the mantra of Swadeshi is going to receive a new energy during this period. Let us come together in collective efforts for the fulfilment of the resolve for a developed and self-reliant India.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Abhro Banerjee\" title=\"Abhro Banerjee\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/abhro-banerjee-24169.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Abhro Banerjee<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Covering day-to-day national and international news for the last nine years across print and digital.
