NDA govt's reforms accelerated growth: Arjun Ram Meghwal

Union Minister of State for Finance Arjun Ram Meghwal today said the reforms brought in by the NDA government have accelerated the growth.
"The reforms in the last three years have helped the economy grow at a faster pace," he said, speaking at an award function organised by Dun&Bradstreet here.
The government advanced the Union Budget to February 1 from February 28, merged Rail Budget with Union Budget and also, for the first time, passed the Finance Bill before March 31, he said.
"The year 2017 will be known as the year of economic reforms," he said.
GST, the biggest of these reforms, will be implemented from July 1, he noted.

After the demonetisation last year, there is a spurt in digital transactions, Meghwal said.
