Congress

Rahul Gandhi reiterated his ‘X-ray’ remark saying that the Congress-led government would conduct a caste census and also scan the wealth held by different caste groups

P Chidambaram had suggested imposing an Inheritance Tax through his articles as recently as March 2023. The UPA government was also mulling about the idea during their tenure.

Congress party's stance on inheritance tax, coupled with its longstanding support of Muslim personal laws, which govern inheritance-related matters among Muslims, it does appear that Congress is eyeing inherited properties of only Hindus.

According to the NCBC, categorising Muslims as a OBC violates social justice principles, particularly for marginalised Muslim castes and groups that have been categorised as socially and educationally backward.

PM Modi hit back at the Inheritance tax plan suggested by Sam Pitorda and charged the Congress party with over-burdening the taxpayers and rampant loot.

Smriti Irani warned people to be cautious of Robert Vadra and hinted at several land scams the 'Jijaji' is accused of.

Jairam Ramesh posted his statement on X and said that Sam Pitroda's comments are his personal views and should not be considered as INC's views.

Other than CM Vijayan, left-backed independent MLA PV Anvar took a dig at Rahul Gandhi saying that the Congress leader has no right to use Gandhi surname and that his DNA should be tested.

“So these are the kind of issues people will have to debate and discuss. I don't know what the conclusion would be at the end of the day but when we talk about redistributing wealth, we are talking about new policies and new programs that are in the interest of the people and not in the interest of super-rich only,” he added.

Staging a protest outside his residence in Surat, the Congress workers alleged that Kumbhani would join the BJP soon.
