Congress party’s poll promise of inheritance tax is drawing criticism from BJP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 24 Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party following Sam Pitroda’s remarks on inheritance tax law. The Prime Minister said the Congress party wanted to take away the rights of people’s children during an election rally in Chhattisgarh.
“Shahi parivar’s shehzada had said some time ago that more taxes should be imposed on the middle class. Now these people have gone one step further than this. Now, Congress says that it will impose Inheritance Tax, it will also impose tax on the inheritance received from parents,” PM Modi said.
“The property you have accumulated through your hard work will not be given to your children. The claws of Congress will snatch that too from you. The mantra of Congress is- Congress ki loot zindagi ke saath bhi, zindagi ke baad bhi. The same people who considered the entire Congress Party as ancestral property and gave it to their children, do not want an ordinary Indian to give his property to his children,” he added.
Modi lashes out at Congress’s socialist agenda
This comes after PM Modi accused the Congress party of wanting to distribute the country’s wealth among “infiltrators” and families with more children if voted to power.
When they (the Congress) were in power, they had said Muslims have the first right to the wealth of the nation. This means they will distribute this wealth to those who have more children, to infiltrators. Should your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators? Do you agree with this?” the PM had said during a rally earlier this week in Rajasthan.
He went on to say, “Congress’s manifesto says they will take stock of the gold that mothers and daughters have, and will distribute that wealth. Manmohan Singh’s government had said Muslims have the first right to wealth. Brothers and sisters, this Urban Naxal thinking will not spare even the mangal sutras of my mothers and sister.”
