Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MPs to spread awareness about the BHIM app, a digital payment application, and the benefits of the GST at the grass roots level through gram panchayats.

Quoting Prime Minister Modi, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar after the BJP's parliamentary party meeting said the GST and its benefits should be discussed at the level of gram panchayats.

Kumar said there will be a massive campaign to popularize the BHIM app among the masses on April 14 to mark the birth anniversary of Bhim Rao Ambedkar.

During the meeting, Prime Minister Modi also pulled up the BJP members and asked them to ensure their presence in Parliament.

The Prime Minister asked them to participate in the 'Swachh Bharat' campaign on the BJP's foundation day on April 6.
