Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said newly launched Goods and Service Tax will change the destiny of the poor people of the nation.
“GST will change the destiny of the poor. Things will become cheaper. We'll do away with corruption. Traders will get freedom from ‘Inspector Raj’,” Adityanath said while addressing a gathering in Varanasi.
Adityanath's statement comes two days after the implementation of historic Goods and Services Tax across the nation.
The GST, rolled out on June 30 midnight, is said to bring the Indian economy under a single-tax bracket.
Under the GST, six slabs of taxation have been proposed by the council, ranging from zero to 43 percent.
