The minister praised the Prime Minister’s meticulous preparation, noting that he studies every paper and file before meetings and expects the same level of diligence from the system.
“Behind these choices lies a distinctive working style. Discussions are civil but unsparing; competing views are welcomed, drift is not. After hearing the room, he reduces a thick dossier to essential alternatives, assigns responsibility, and names the metric that will decide success,” Puri said.
He added that under PM Modi’s leadership, the best argument prevails, the system rewards preparation, and the government ensures relentless follow-up.
GST Structure Simplified
Recently, the Union government introduced a major simplification of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure. The GST Council approved the changes in September 2025, and they took effect on September 22, 2025.
The reform eliminated the 12 per cent and 28 per cent tax slabs, leaving two main slabs of 5 per cent and 18 per cent, along with a special 40 per cent rate for luxury and ‘sin’ goods.
The GST reforms aim to lower prices on everyday items for consumers while easing compliance for businesses and resolving complex issues such as inverted duty structures.
- Many items, including household electronics, small cars, and auto parts, moved from the 12 per cent or 28 per cent slabs to the 18 per cent slab.
- Essential goods such as packaged foods, personal care items, and dairy products shifted from the 12 per cent or 18 per cent slabs to the 5 per cent slab.
These changes, the government said, reflect its commitment to simplification, fairness, and citizen-first economic planning.
