PM Modi In Arunachal Pradesh: Double Engine Sarkar Driving Unprecedented North-East Growth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday reiterated his call for swadeshi (indigenous) goods amid trade and tariff tensions with the US, saying the country should get freedom from foreign-made goods.

In a televised address to the nation, he also hailed the new reforms in the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as a double bonanza for the neo-middle class of the country.

Modi said the "next gen" GST reforms, which will come into effect from Monday, are like a "GST saving festival".
