In a series of public addresses and rallies across India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has intensified his criticism of the Congress party, accusing it of plotting to redistribute wealth and implement reservation based on religion if elected. Modi alleges that Congress's manifesto includes plans to survey and redistribute citizens' properties, specifically targeting wealthier families and those with 'many kids'. This has sparked a significant political controversy, with Congress and other parties reacting strongly. The CPI(M) has even lodged a complaint with the Election Commission, accusing Modi of violating directives by making communal charges. Additionally, Congress leader Sam Pitroda has proposed an inheritance tax, comparing it to similar taxes in the United States, which has added fuel to the ongoing debate over Congress's economic policies. Rahul Gandhi counters these allegations, emphasizing that the BJP is diverting from real issues. Modi's remarks in Rajasthan's Tonk have been particularly controversial, leading to strong responses from Congress regarding the wealth redistribution charges.
