The event witnessed the participation of a large number of BJP workers, traders, social organisations, and local citizens.
Addressing the gathering, BJP J&K General Secretary and former Deputy Mayor Jammu, Baldev Singh Billawaria, said that the reduction in GST rates will not only provide relief to common consumers but will also boost trade and commercial activities across the country. He said this decision will strengthen India’s economy and ensure availability of goods at cheaper rates, benefiting both the public and the trading community alike.
Billawaria further said that the BJP government has always prioritized public welfare, which is India’s economy today is advancing robustly at the global level. Criticizing the Congress party, he remarked that when the Modi government introduced GST, Congress mocked it by calling it “Gabbar Singh Tax.” But today, when the government has reduced GST in the interest of the people, the Congress has chosen to remain silent.

Billawaria added that under the mantra of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas” the Modi government has been continuously working for the welfare of the poor, farmers, traders, and the middle class.
