<h1>Ruling party workshop to celebrate GST slab reforms, discuss efficiency and electoral strategy ahead of state and vice-presidential votes</h1> A two-day parliamentary workshop for members of the ruling party and its allies will commence at the Parliament complex, during which the head of government may be present and is expected to be felicitated for recent GST slab reforms aimed at lowering consumer tax burdens and stimulating the economy. Organizers view early price declines as potentially advantageous ahead of upcoming state elections. The event includes sessions on party history and parliamentary efficiency and a dinner hosted by the head of government on the eve of the vice-presidential election, where the ruling coalition's candidate faces an opposition nominee in a contest with arithmetic advantage for the coalition.
