Nahata said, "I am sure that the state will go with VAT implementation from June one, 2003 under all circumstances. No one should have any doubt about its implementation".
The two adjoining states -- Maharashtra and Gujarat -- are also introducing VAT, both the states are the progressive states and hence Madhya Pradesh will follow them in respect of VAT implementation, he said.
The minister assured the traders' representatives that the state government is fully alert and cautious about the possible difficulties arising out of VAT implementation, the release added.
