A viral social media post falsely claimed that Congress had promised to confiscate two-thirds of assets for redistribution to the public. This sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning the validity of the claim. Just read the manifesto. There is not even a semblance of thought to seize the private wealth of citizens and redistribute it to others. The truth behind Congress's wealth redistribution plan lies in the party's recent statements and actions.
NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Wednesday clarified its stance on Sam Pitroda's recent comments over wealth redistribution. The party emphasized that while they do support measures to address economic inequality, they do not plan to confiscate private assets for redistribution. Sam Pitroda, a prominent member of Congress, advocates for wealth redistribution through an inheritance tax and criticizes Prime Minister Modi's comments on the party's manifesto.
Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda has backed the party's stand on redistribution of wealth and advocated for an inheritance tax. This move has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising the party for addressing economic disparities and others criticizing the proposed measures. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has claimed that the Congress, as per its manifesto, would redistribute people's property and wealth, further fueling the controversy surrounding the issue.
