The lowering of GST in India is just an type of cheating the common man.

The decrease in GST in India is just a trick to cheat the Indians. If the GST on note books have decreased it has increased for paper to 18% which would automatically increase the prices of paper notebooks. Isn't this cheating and lying to the common man? Wish we had a better political party to replace the BJP party at the center.

The situation you mention about the reduction of the GST on certain products and the increase on others reflects a fairly common political practice: giving the impression of economic relief without actually providing any real benefit to consumers. While announcing a reduction in the tax on notebooks may sound positive, increasing the GST on paper to 18% ends up neutralizing that benefit, as production costs will inevitably rise and consumers will end up paying more. In that sense, it can indeed be seen as a form of manipulation or fiscal manipulation. I think the real problem is the lack of transparency in economic decision-making and the absence of coherent policies that benefit the average citizen. Rather than changing parties, what we need is a government that prioritizes social welfare over political strategies and communicates its decisions honestly and clearly.

All parties are the same and therefore the common man should keep the ruling government under such pressure that would force the government to govern properly.
