HM Amit Shah slams Congress for advocating inheritance tax

New Delhi, Apr 24: Union Home and Cooperation Minister and Senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader  Amit Shah strongly criticized the Congress, particularly Rahul Gandhi and Congress Party advisor Sam Pitroda, for advocating the concept of “inheritance tax.”

Shah targeted them, stating that after Sam Pitroda’s remarks, the true intentions of the Congress party have been laid bare, exposing their agenda.

He remarked that Sam Pitroda’s statement regarding wealth redistribution has unveiled the appeasement politics of the Congress.

“In essence, it confirms the party’s intention to confiscate the property of the majority and redistribute it among the minorities. This revelation underscores that the Congress has never prioritized the empowerment of India’s poor, Dalits, youth, tribes, and backward classes.”

Senior BJP leader remarked that Sam Pitroda’s remarks have fully exposed the true face of the Congress party. He pointed out that the idea of “survey” was initially introduced in the Congress manifesto.

During his tenure as Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh stated that minorities have the primary claim on the country’s resources. Such ideology has long been associated with the Congress legacy. Now, Sam Pitroda, drawing parallels with America, has advocated for discussions on wealth distribution and the implementation of inheritance tax.

The Home Minister highlighted that Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought to light the Congress’s intentions of eyeing people’s property, figures like Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and the entire Congress party came on the back foot. “Congress leaders began denying their intentions, claiming it wasn’t their agenda. However, today, Sam Pitroda’s statement has made the Congress’s intentions crystal clear to the nation: they aim to survey individuals’ private property and place it in the government treasury,” he said.
