Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that the GST reforms are a ‘bridge of faith’ between taxpayers and the government.

“People of Delhi, Diwali and Navratri will be coming soon. Everything you use will now have a GST of 0% and 5% instead of 28% and 18%. I want to tell the mothers and sisters of Delhi that be dominant at home and start shopping more and more,” Shah said during the Startup Conclave in Gandhinagar.

“Shop freely, but only buy things made in India, not outside. The time has come for every citizen of India to take a pledge to buy only what is made in our country. Promoting Swadeshi should become our nature. Only then will the resolution of a prosperous India be fulfilled,” he added.

The Startup Conclave was organised under the theme of ‘Elevate, Innovate, and Accelerate ‘ at Gandhinagar’s Mahatma Mandir. During the event, Shah highlighted how students, industry leaders, entrepreneurs will be discussing ways to realise Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mission of making India’s mark in the startup world.

“In an effort to make India progress, make it supreme in every sector, and to bring time-appropriate change in your life, discussions will take place in the next days at this Mahatma Mandir in Gujarat’s capital Gandhinagar,” Shah said while addressing the conclave.

“Many venture capitalists, investors, mentors, and people connected to the industry have also come in and students, who have the biggest responsibility in accelerating the world of startups,” he added.

Shah further expressed confidence in making it an even more successful conclave than the one organised in 2023, in which around 2,500 startups were present.
