Young Voters Seek Jobs

This is regarding Himachal This Week’s cover story of September 30, 2017, “Younmg Voetrs Seek Jobs”. Unemployment has been the biggest isssue in the country and Himachal is no exception. As nearly 1.25 lakh new electorate will cast their votes for the first time in upcoming Himachal assembly elections, both the main political parties are trying to woo them. Both the parties are also advocating to field young new faces in upcoming elections. The young voters have the capability to affect poll prospects of any party or candidate in coming elections. It remains to be seen what the election manifestos of the Congress and BJP promises for this huge section of voters who look for employment opportunities.

Complex GST

The GST is a complex system though it is considered to be the biggest tax reforms in the country. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is assuring that it is being implemented properly but continuous changes reflect that all is not well. Finance Minister has been assuring that teething problems would soon be over but the government had to change its stance and extended certain relief to small traders and exporters. The new system should have been implemented after undertaking all arrangements for the same.
