AP CM Naidu Launches GST 2.0 Initiative, Emphasises Support for Small Businesses & Farmers

In Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu launched a people-first campaign around GST 2.0 reforms, describing them as a cost-cutting, compliance-easing strategy for households, students, small businesses, and farmers. He said reducing tax burdens on essentials like textbooks, medicines, and farm equipment would have long-term gains for citizen welfare. The initiative aims to ensure reforms are not only top-down but felt bottom-up, especially in rural communities. Local leadership is mobilizing to spread awareness and ensure smooth implementation ahead of festival season.
