New Delhi: Ahead of Navratri, Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi for what he termed a “major reform” aimed at benefiting millions of Indian families.
“It is a matter of great joy for all of us that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji has decided to reduce GST rates on practically everything used in the daily lives of middle-class and low-income families,” Vaishnaw said.
