Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lashed out at the Congress-led government in Himachal Pradesh for hiking cement price to blunt the benefit of the recent GST cut, saying they are busy “filling their own pockets”. Speaking at the inauguration of Delhi BJP’s new building, PM Modi said, “The day we cut the GST on cement, the Himachal Pradesh government increased its price. They immediately raised the price and got down to filling their pockets.”

PM Modi asked each BJP worker to ensure that the benefits of the next-generation GST reforms percolate down to the common people. “You also have to promote Swadeshi products and ensure that boards are put up at every shop and people take pride in selling Swadeshi products in their establishments,” he said.
