Mangaluru, Sep 25: Dakshina Kannada MP Brijesh Chowta said that the GST rate reduction announced by the Union government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a major step in shaping the country’s economy. In this context, a special campaign will be held till October 20 in all assembly constituencies, with public interaction programmes to be conducted.

Addressing a press meet at the party office on September 25, he said that GST reforms have provided encouragement to celebrate Navaratri and upcoming festivals in a special way. Traders, entrepreneurs, and customers will benefit. In coordination with the BJP’s economic cell, awareness programmes and public interactions will be organised at shops and markets. With the GST reduction, purchasing power has increased, demand will grow, production will rise, and employment will be generated, thereby giving momentum to the country’s economic growth, he explained.

District coordinator of the economic cell, CA Shantharam Shetty, said that the reduction in GST has led to a fall in the prices of several commodities, and the direct benefit will reach the people.

District general secretary Premananda Shetty, secretary Purnima, district co-convenor of the cells Prasanna Darbe, treasurer Sanjay Prabhu, and media convenor Vasant Poojary were present.

Chowta further said that the Siddaramaiah government has been consistently adopting an anti-Hindu stance. Along with looting the state through corruption, it is attempting to divide Hindu society through a social and educational survey. By spending Rs 450 crore, new caste classifications have been created in the survey. He condemned this divisive attempt and appealed that during the survey, all Hindus should mention ‘Hindu’ in the religion column.
