On Wednesday the Bharatiya Janata Party took a sharp jibe at the Congress over inheritance tax remark made by its functionary Sam Pitroda, adding fuel to ongoing debate over wealth distribution plan proposed by the grand-old party in its Lok Sabha election manifesto.
Shehzad Poonawala, BJP National Spokesperson sharpened his criticism of the Congress using LIC tagline and wrote on X, ‘Loot lenge sab kuch Zindagi ke saath bhi Zindagi ke baad bhi’.
The BJP leader attached a poster in his X post which has LIC tagline written on it along with the picture of Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi and Sam Pitroda.
In remarks that drew flak by the BJP and prompted the Congress to distance itself from them, Pitroda could be heard talking in a video about a US law that says, ‘You must leave your wealth for the public not all of it, half of it- which to me sounds fair’.
The debate around wealth distribution and Pitroda’s fresh comment mounted when PM Modi launched a fresh offensive against the Congress while addressing an election rally in Chhattisgarh.
PM Modi said, ‘The entire country is witness to action being taken against the corrupt people in Chhattisgarh. I have come here to seek your blessings for ‘Viksit Bharat’ and ‘Viksit Chhattisgarh’’.
He further added, ‘When I say ‘Viksit Bharat’ Congress and some powers sitting in the world get angry. If Bharat becomes powerful, the game of some forces will be spoilt. If Bharat becomes self-reliant, some forces will be forced to shut shop. That is why they want a weak government of Congress and INDIA alliance’.
