A political debate has erupted over the government’s rollout of ‘next generation GST reforms’ on September 22, 2025. The ruling party’s representative describes it as a great day for 140 crore Indians, stating the simplified tax structure will boost consumption and the economy. Opposition parties contend these reforms have been delayed for eight years, a period during which they allege ₹55 lakh crore was unduly collected from the public. Concerns were also raised about the GST Council’s voting structure. A DMK spokesperson stated, ‘These four states contribute to about 50 percent of India’s GST collection… But when it comes to GST council, these four states are only 8 percent of the votes.’ The discussion also touched upon the timing of the reforms, coinciding with the Navratri festival, and the real impact on household budgets. #gstreforms #gst #indianeconomy #taxation #bjp #congress #dmk #politicaldebate #onenationonetax #gstcouncil #economicreforms #indianpolitics #navratri
