MP CM calls for embracing Swadeshi

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the benefits of the next-generation GST and urged citizens to adopt Swadeshi goods, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday echoed the Centre's reforms, describing the tax relief as a “Diwali gift of savings” and calling for greater reliance on indigenous products to achieve a self-reliant India.

Yadav made the remarks during the “Bachat Utsav” campaign in Bhopal’s historic Chowk Bazaar, where he held interactions with traders and shoppers. Leading a padayatra from Somwara police outpost to Dipali Saree House, the Chief Minister pasted campaign stickers on shops, purchased Swadeshi garments, and made UPI payments to under-

score the importance of digital transactions.
