Mumbai: Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, emphasized the historic journey of GST reforms and their transformative impact on the Indian economy. Speaking on the unified tax system, Goyal said, “It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji who had once envisioned a unified tax system…But when the UPA government came, they kept making promises without action. The state governments had no trust in them.”

He further highlighted the cooperative efforts behind the implementation of GST, stating, “Every state, including those ruled by opposition parties, came together to decide on GST slabs and implement the reform…From 2017 to 2024-25, whenever possible, the Prime Minister has continued to reduce rates from time to time…The opposition made absurd allegations, false accusations, and tried to create misunderstandings. But the burden of paperwork and taxes during the Congress government’s time before 2014 has been continuously decreasing since the introduction of GST in 2017…The tax reform will benefit all sections of society.”

Goyal also reflected on the state of the economy when the current government assumed office, noting, “When our government came to power, we all know how weak the country’s economy was at that time. During Congress’s rule, apart from committing corruption, they took no transformative decisions. They only used to make promises, but the action was missing.”

  1. Solid analysis! High-volatility games like those found in jiliki games are definitely driving engagement, especially with that mobile-first approach. The Philippines market is key, too – smart move focusing there. Interesting to see how the jiliki app impacts retention!
