BJP PC LIVE: BJP Leader Sambit Patra Backs GST Reforms | Nirmala Sitharaman | Middle-Class
In a live Press Conference, BJP national spokesperson and MP Sambit Patra strongly backs the landmark GST reforms approved by the GST Council under Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Following the 56th GST Council meeting on September 3, the reforms introduce a simplified two-tier tax structure of 5% and 18%, with a 40% slab for sin and luxury goods like tobacco, cigarettes, pan masala, and aerated drinks, effective from September 22, 2025. Patra highlights the reforms as a "historic step towards Atmanirbhar Bharat," emphasizing massive relief for the middle class through rate cuts on daily essentials (e.g., shampoos, toothpaste, soaps to 5%), zero GST on health and life insurance, paneer, and Indian breads, and reductions on appliances like TVs and refrigerators (from 28% to 18%). He counters opposition criticism from leaders like P Chidambaram, calling it "8 years too late," and praises PM Narendra Modi’s vision for boosting consumption, supporting MSMEs, farmers, and employment while ensuring fiscal sustainability despite a Rs 48,000 crore revenue impact. The PC underscores how these structural changes ease compliance, correct inverted duties, and promote economic growth amid global challenges.
