And thus, the decisions were taken with consensus at the GST council,” he said in a speech during his two-day trip to Gujarat.Applauding his government, the PM asserted that Diwali had come early for people due to the decisions taken in the GST Council. “On Friday our government addressed the concerns regarding Goods and Services Tax (GST), and announced a slew of measures to ease the concerns of traders, exporters and small businesses,” he said.
Confident of the faith that people have in the government, Modi said that when there is trust in a government and when policies are made with best intentions, it is natural that people will support for the best interests of the nation.
