PM Modi Felicitated for GST Reforms

During the workshop, the Prime Minister was felicitated by NDA leaders for the recent GST reforms. The GST Council, chaired by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, had approved the reforms last week, which are set to be implemented on September 22.

Calling it a "Diwali bonanza", Modi hailed the reforms and described GST 2.0 as a "double dose of support and growth" for India. He added, "Without timely changes, we cannot give our country its rightful place in today's global situation. I had said from the Red Fort on August 15 that it is crucial to undertake next-generation reforms to make India self-reliant."

Vice Presidential Elections

Meanwhile, voting for the Vice Presidential elections is scheduled for September 9. The polling will take place from 10 am to 5 pm, with results to be announced the same evening.

The NDA has fielded CP Radhakrishnan as its candidate, while the India bloc has nominated B Sudershan Reddy. To secure victory, a candidate needs 392 votes. The NDA currently has 293 MPs in the Lok Sabha and 130 in the Rajya Sabha, giving Radhakrishnan a strong advantage in the 2025 Vice Presidential polls.
