Controversy Erupts Over Sam Pitroda's Inheritance Tax Comments

Congress swiftly distances itself from Pitroda's remarks, emphasizing they do not reflect official policy.

Sam Pitroda's mention of a U.S.-style inheritance tax during an interview leads to widespread controversy.
Prime Minister Modi and BJP amplify the remarks, accusing Congress of planning wealth redistribution.
Congress officials, including Jairam Ramesh and Mallikarjun Kharge, clarify that the remarks were Pitroda's personal views and not part of the party's manifesto.
Critics argue the comments were taken out of context to divert attention from other political issues.
The debate highlights ongoing discussions about wealth inequality and taxation policies in India.
