Sam Pitrodas tax faux pass has put the Congress in a fix just before the elections.
Amit Malviya, who heads the BJP’s IT cell, posted, “Congress has decided to destroy India. Now, Sam Pitroda advocates 50% inheritance tax for wealth redistribution.
This means 50% of whatever we build, with all our hard work and enterprise, will be taken away. 50%, besides all the tax we pay, which too will go up, if the Congress prevails.”
BJP spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill, who was earlier with the Congress, said the “cat is out of the bag”.
“Rahul Gandhi’s main advisor Sam Pitroda ‘hua to hua’ Fame proposes “inheritance tax” like US where Govt takes 50%+ of your wealth! Voting for Congress = Losing your Money + Property + Belongings! Voters be aware, property snatchers are here!” he posted on X.
The Congress moved into damage-control mode as Pitroda’s videos started doing the rounds into social media. Senior leader Jairam Ramesh posted, “Sam Pitroda has been a mentor, friend, philosopher, and guide to many across the world, including me.
He has made numerous, enduring contributions to India’s developments. He is President of the Indian Overseas Congress.”
