BJP MPs' workshop begins in Parliament; PM Modi likely to be honoured for GST reforms

New Delhi: A two-day workshop of BJP MPs is set to begin on Sunday in the Parliament complex. According to party sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to be felicitated on the occasion for the recent GST reforms. The BJP had planned the workshop several days ago, and it is expected that the Prime Minister himself will also attend the event.

Positive atmosphere about GST reforms

BJP leaders believe that the public will get the direct benefit of the new GST slab. Tax rates have been reduced on many items, which will reduce the burden on the pockets of consumers. The party argues that this will not only increase consumption but also give new energy to the economy. The BJP and its allies estimate that the relief in the market will increase public confidence, and its impact can be seen in the Bihar assembly elections to be held in November.

Political significance was also added

Along with economic reforms, this workshop is also being considered important from a political perspective. In fact, the central government wants the MPs to clearly convey the benefits of the new tax structure to the common people. Party strategists believe that when the public feels that prices are coming down, it will have a direct impact on the political equation. This is why the emphasis will be on giving the MPs in-depth information about the GST reforms and formulating strategies for progress at the regional level.

Prime Minister meets President

On Saturday, Prime Minister Modi reached Rashtrapati Bhavan and paid a courtesy call on President Draupadi Murmu. The President's Office shared a picture of the meeting and gave information on social media platform X. The meeting took place after the Prime Minister returned from his recent visit to Japan and China. Although the details of the meeting were not shared, it is being considered as part of regular interactions.

Dinner was canceled due to the flood disaster

Meanwhile, in view of the floods and the devastation caused by them in various parts of the country, including Punjab, the BJP has cancelled the dinner scheduled for NDA MPs at the Prime Minister's residence on September 8. The event was to be held a day before the Vice Presidential elections. Party sources said that the dinner scheduled for Saturday night at BJP president JP Nadda's residence has also been postponed. The BJP has said that the decision was taken keeping in mind the sensitivity of the disaster.

Preparations for the coming days

Overall, this BJP workshop is not only an organisational event but also important from an electoral point of view. While the Prime Minister is likely to be felicitated for economic reforms in it, the MPs will also be given the responsibility of going to their constituencies and telling the public about the benefits of these reforms. The party believes that this strategy can prove decisive in future politics.
