It is my good fortune that I have got the opportunity to participate in this event of his birth centenary year. Just now, (CM) Hemanta was saying that I have done a favour by coming here. On the contrary, it is my good fortune to come on such a holy occasion. We all used to lovingly call Bhupen da ‘Sudha Kontho’. He gave voice to the feelings of India…Bhupen Da is no longer physically present among us, but his songs, his voice, are still witnessing India’s development journey, giving it energy. Our government is celebrating Bhupen Da’s birth centenary year with great pride.” (ANI)

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, “Before 2014, even daily essentials like toothpaste, soap, and oil were taxed at 27%. Today, only 5% GST is applicable. During the Congress rule, medicines, test kits, and insurance policies were heavily taxed. That is why healthcare was expensive and insurance was out of reach for ordinary families. But today, all these have become affordable. The new GST rates will also make medicines for serious diseases like cancer more affordable. After September 22nd, cement and construction materials will also become cheaper. Many companies that manufacture scooters and cars have already reduced prices. I am sure that the festive season this time will be even more vibrant across the nation. As part of the reforms, GST on most hotels have been reduced to only 5% traveling to various places, staying in hotels and eating out will become cheaper. This will help more people travel, explore and enjoy different parts of our country…”
