New Delhi, Sep 29 (PTI) Dismissing the Opposition\u2019s criticism of his government\u2019s GST measures as lies of \u201cbayan bahadur\u201d, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that the BJP-NDA ushered in a \u201cnew model of good governance\u201d and a family will now save nearly Rs 20,000 on its annual household expenditure of Rs 1 lakh compared to the UPA period.
\n Speaking at the inauguration of Delhi BJP headquarters here, Modi asked party workers to ensure that the benefits of next-generation GST reforms reach people, especially in opposition-ruled states, asserting that the decision, along with the rise in Income Tax exemption, will save citizens Rs 2.5 lakh crore every year.
\n He accused the Congress government in Himachal Pradesh of indulging in \u201cloot\u201d by hiking the levy on cement soon after GST relief brought its price down, as he hit back at the<\/p>\n

\n Asking BJP workers to reach out to customers as well as traders for promoting swadeshi, Modi appealed for reducing the country\u2019s dependence on foreign goods.
\n\u201cThe less our dependence on foreign products is, the better it will be,\u201d he said, reiterating a point the prime minister has been especially vocal about since the US imposed a high tariff of 50 per cent on Indian goods.
\n \u201cWe have to adopt swadeshi to make India self-reliant,\u201d he said, calling for making it a movement across the country.
\nThe BJP is in government not for “satta” (power) but 'seva' (service), and its offices keep alive this sentiment, Modi said after inaugurating the office and asked party members to ensure that the new building is a place where people\u2019s grievances are heard and addressed.
