BJP leaders to travel across country from July 2-7 to explain GST

They'll reach out to business communities, traders groups and industry chambers

Worried that confusion might hit the roll-out of the goods and services tax (GST), members of the Union council of ministers would travel across the country from July 2 to 7.

The new indirect tax regime would be rolled out from July 1. The ministers would meet stakeholders — especially industry chambers and traders’ groups — to clear doubts. 

The three-week period starting International Yoga Day (June 21) is likely to be a stressful one for ministers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to be in Lucknow to mark the day. Other ministers have been asked to visit state capitals or their constituencies
