The rolling out of a two-rate Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, a long-awaited reform, will see the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launch a nationwide campaign titled ‘GST savings festival’ from September 22 to 29 to spread awareness of the new tax system among traders, shopkeepers and the general public.

All BJP Members of Parliament have been directed to organise pad yatras or foot marches in the markets of their constituencies as part of the campaign.
