Here are 5 quotes of PM Narendra Modi's speech

Albert Einstein had once said that if there is one thing that is most difficult to understand, it is income tax. I wonder what he would have said had he seen our tax system.
The law may say GST is Goods and Services Tax, but in reality it is Good and Simple Tax. More than economic reform, it is a social reform.
Sometimes there are concerns when we do new things. People who create unnecessary concerns, I request them not to.
