Rajiv gandhi Scrapped Inheritance Law To Reap Benefits: PM Modi…
Launching a scathing attack on the congress, prime minister Narendra Modi on thursday revealed “eye-opening” facts on “inheritance law”. PM Modi alleged that when former prime minister indira gandhi died, rajiv gandhi, his son and also a former prime minister, scrapped an inheritance law that existed to reap benefits and save his ancestral wealth. “When former PM indira gandhi died, her children were going to get her property. But there was a rule earlier that before the property goes to the children some part of it was taken by the government. To save the property so that it does not go to the government, the then PM rajiv gandhi scrapped the Inheritance law,” the PM said at a poll rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Morena.
Soon after his remarks, Congress's jairam ramesh clarified, saying, "There is no mention of Inheritance Tax in our manifesto, it is not our agenda. The truth is, that in 1985, PM rajiv gandhi abolished the Inheritance Tax. We never mentioned anything about Inheritance Tax and it is not a part of our agenda."
After his "infiltrators" remark sparked a row across the political landscape of the country, PM Modi said that Congress’s government in karnataka committed a “sin” as it granted all castes and communities of Muslims in the list of OBCs for reservation in employment and educational institutions under the state govt. Simply put, all Muslims of karnataka state have been considered as OBC under Category II-B.
Addressing the Vijay Sankalp Rally in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, and the PM said, “You (referring to the people) would be surprised to know what a ‘sin’ congress has committed in Karnataka. The grand old party added so many new people into the OBC community that earlier OBCs used to get reservations in education and government jobs but now the reservation they used to get was secretly snatched away from them.”
