Sam Pitroda can help Congress by pasting some strong, sticky tape all over his mouth and then spending the rest of the 2024 Lok Sabha election campaign in silence. He has done enough damage already.
While Congress has distanced itself from its overseas wing chief Sam Pitroda's apparent support for inheritance tax, BJP, including PM Modi, has launch scathing attacks over the issue.
Jairam Ramesh says Congress has clearly stated it has no plans to implement a wealth tax, asks where Modi stands on the issue 'given multiple BJP leaders have supported the idea'.
The chairman of overseas Congress had given example of US inheritance tax & suggested a debate on this in India. BJP has called it Congress’s 'destructive' intention if voted to power.
Black money will stay with us till the end of time. We can only reduce it, minimise its distorting effects on our economy, and ensure that the poor are not bearing disproportionate costs.
Inheritance tax was abolished in 1985. But fearing its return, rich professionals and businessmen are flocking to tax consultants to set up trusts to avoid the tax.
One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
