Breaking News: PM Modi to Address the Nation Today at 5 PM, Key Announcements on GST Reforms and 'Go Local' Campaign Expected

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation today at 5 PM. This highly anticipated address comes just hours before the implementation of new GST reforms, which are set to take effect from September 22—coinciding with the start of Sharadiya Navratri. Speculations are rife that the Prime Minister will focus on economic issues, particularly the revised GST rates. These reforms are expected to bring down the prices of several essential items, offering financial relief to the common people. This is being hailed as one of the most significant GST overhauls since its introduction. Additionally, PM Modi may emphasize the "Go Local" or "Swadeshi Apnao" campaign, encouraging citizens to prefer Indian-made goods over imports. This comes amid ongoing trade tensions with the US, including recent high tariffs imposed on Indian goods. While some expected the PM to address the controversy surrounding remarks about his late mother made in Bihar politics, analysts believe this is unlikely in a national address. Instead, he may reserve political responses for his upcoming visit to Bihar during Navratri. All eyes are now on PM Modi’s speech, with expectations of major economic insights and a festive message to the nation.
