PM Modi News / PM Modi will address the nation at 5 pm today; new GST rates will be implemented from tomorrow

New GST rates will come into effect tomorrow. Before this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 5 pm today. He is expected to address issues such as GST rates, Trump's tariffs, and H-1B visa fees. Discussions on Navratri are also possible.

PM Modi News: New GST (Goods and Services Tax) rates are set to be implemented in the country from September 22, 2025. Just a day before, on Sunday, September 21, at 5 p.m., Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation. There is an atmosphere of anticipation and speculation throughout the country regarding this address. It is believed that PM Modi may make some major announcements on this occasion, including discussions on other important issues besides the new GST rates.

GST Rate Reduction: Relief for the General Public

Under the new GST rates, which will be implemented from September 22, tax rates on many essential goods and services are being reduced. This change is expected to reduce the prices of many items, potentially providing economic relief to the general public. Experts believe that this could be the biggest reform since the implementation of GST. This move could prove to be helpful in saving money for consumers and boosting the economy.

PM Modi's Address: What Will Be the Key Points?

While it is not yet clear what issues PM Modi's address will focus on, several possibilities are being discussed:

Discussion on GST rates: Since this address is taking place just before the implementation of the new GST rates, it is believed that PM Modi may highlight the benefits of this reform and its economic impact. This address could be an opportunity to explain to the general public how these changes will make their lives easier.

Emphasis on self-reliance: During his recent visit to Gujarat, PM Modi said, "Our real enemy is not anyone else, but our dependence on other countries." Given this statement, it is likely that he will discuss steps being taken towards a self-reliant India in his address. In particular, he may clarify India's position on issues such as the 50% tariff proposed by the US and the new H1 visa fee.

Significance of Navratri: Navratri begins on September 22nd. During his visit to Gujarat, the PM described this Navratri as "very special." In such a situation, he may also highlight the cultural and spiritual significance of this festival in his address, as well as extend his best wishes to the countrymen.

There have been significant addresses in the past as well.

PM Modi has previously addressed the nation on Independence Day on August 15th and during the tensions between India and Pakistan. These addresses emphasized issues such as nation-building, unity, and development. This time too, the countrymen are keenly watching his speech, as it may touch not only on economic reforms but also on global and cultural issues.
