00:00All of us, and coming to Bengal, I am happy to say that the determination of September 22nd was largely influenced by Pujol.

00:15Although the Prime Minister had said before the public, and although the industry was telling us,

00:23oh now, we will have to wait till they probably, because people are coming to the shop, doing video shopping,

00:32or getting some pamphlets from us as to what is the cost, what is the specification and everything else,

00:38and are going back, they are not buying. When are you going to bring this, please get it from tomorrow,

00:43was the request from the industry, after the GST Council's decision.

00:49But we had to be practical. The GSTN, which is the GST network, the digital network which governs the entire country,

00:57had to be ready, vendors had to be spoken to, the small merchants had to be spoken to,

01:04they all have to amend their entire billing system to reflect the new decision.

01:10And the new decision is not on one commodity or two, it is on the entire gamut of GST.

01:17So people had to be given their time to readjust. And in that process, somebody said,

01:23why don't we do it from 10th September? Then somebody had said, no, from 15th September?

01:30Then we said, no, wait, when does the GSTN begin?

01:35It is after the SRAAN gradient, which is the PITRUPA.

01:39So, if Prime Minister Modi indicated in the party, and if GST has gone through a major exam,

01:49the super mangler divas is first day of the next day of Mahalaya.

01:58So, don't you see the very strong influence of Bengal in this decision making?

02:04Absolutely, you all.

02:08So, I would say, the message from Bengal is what is going to influence the rest of the country,

02:14like India, but your independence struggle, like Bengal has always been leading the country.

02:22Now, I would want each one of you to go out there, go to every shop that you want, do the purchases.

02:30You should show the way, saying, Indian economy now benefits from the GST second generation reform.

02:38We, the citizens, are going to use it to the maximum, and this will, we can move to the next.

02:45This will naturally show a lot of impact to the overall economy.
