Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday said that the GST reforms are a huge victory for each and every citizen of the country.
Taking into account that every state in India has its own festivals, it has been decided to implement the GST reforms much ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s instruction of launching them before Deepavali festival, Sitharaman said at an event in Chennai.
