Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s workshop at the GMC Balayogi Auditorium in the Parliament complex.

In an unusual and rare gesture, he joined fellow BJP parliamentarians, opting to sit in the last row like a regular member during the workshop.

In a photo shared by BJP MP Ravi Kishan, the Prime Minister was seen sitting in the last row of the auditorium among other parliamentarians.

“At the NDA MPs’ workshop, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, seated in the last row, embodies the strength of the BJP; every worker is part of this organisation,” Ravi Kishan said in a post on X.

The workshop was held ahead of the upcoming election of Vice-President of India on September 9.

The session unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the Centre’s sweeping Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms.

These reforms were in line with the promise made by the Prime Minister in his Independence Day address from the Red Fort, where he had assured the middle class of relief under the GST framework.

The GST Council rationalised the indirect tax structure, cutting the current four slabs down to two in a landmark decision that promises to ease household budgets and lift consumer sentiment. Answering the Indian middle class’ long-pending demand, the GST Council scrapped the 12% and 28% rates, retaining only the 5% and 18% slabs.

Items earlier taxed at the higher rates will now largely migrate to the lower two slabs, making essentials, personal care items, restaurant meals, travel, gadgets and even automobiles more affordable.

On September 22, the first day of Navratri, all changes in GST rates will come into effect.
