कांग्रेस पर आर्थिक हमला, 1823 करोड़ का जुर्माना Mar 29, 2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsJTUZulRnc
यह कैसा चुनाव है? बीच चुनाव में आयकर विभाग ने कांग्रेस को 1823 करोड़ का नोटिस भेजा है। क्या कोई भी पार्टी चुनाव के बीच इतना पैसा दे सकती है? अगर उस पर इस तरह से जुर्माने लाद दिए जाएंगे तो वह आयकर विभाग की बंधक बन कर रह जाएगी, उसके नेता जनता के बीच पहुंच ही नहीं पाएंगे। कांग्रेस के कई खाते पहले ही बंद किए जा चुके हैं, 135 करोड़ रुपये ज़ब्त किए जा चुके हैं। कांग्रेस कह चुकी है कि उसके पास जहाज़ बुक करने से लेकर विज्ञापन देने के पैसे नहीं हैं। जिस पार्टी को इलेक्टोरल बॉन्ड से कुल 1,334 करोड़ का चंदा मिला हो, उस पर 1823 करोड़ का जुर्माना लगा दिया गया है। कांग्रेस ने कहा है कि जिस आधार पर उस पर जुर्माना लगा है, उसी आधार पर भाजपा पर 4600 करोड़ का जुर्माना लगना चाहिए।
Rahul Gandhi After ₹ 1,800 Crore Tax Notice: "When Government Changes..."
Mar 29, 2024 Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today promised the party will take exemplary action against those who have destroyed democracy - "when the government changes" - after the party received a ₹ 1,800 crore income tax notice which it called "tax terrorism".
https://thewire.in/politics/congress-accuses-bjp-of-tax-terrorism-after-receiving-fresh-it-notices The Congress on March 29 said that it had received fresh notices from the Income Tax (IT) Department to pay Rs 1,823.08 crore and accused the IT Department and the Election Commission of turning a blind eye towards the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s tax evasion which it alleged was to the tune of Rs 4,617.58 crore, writes Sravasti Dasgupta.
Congress Treasurer Maken said that the party had analysed the BJP’s donations on the Election Commission’s website and found that in FY 2017-18 the saffron party had taken 92 donations without names worth Rs 4.5 lakh and 1,297 donations without addresses worth Rs 42 crore. The party said in a statement that while political parties in India are exempt from Income Tax Act under Section 13, “only Congress and other like-minded opposition parties are being singled out and selectively targeted by BJP’s frontal organisation-the Income Tax Department, for coercive action.”
https://twitter.com/Jairam_Ramesh/status/1773650737374847183 @INCIndia allegedly committed violations to the tune of Rs. 14 lakhs in 2017-18, and was fined Rs. 135 crores. In the same year, the BJP committed the exact same violation to the tune of Rs. 42 crores. For alleged violations committed in the last six years, INC was served with a notice of Rs 1,823 crores. For those very same violations, in the very same time period, the BJP should have been slapped with notices for Rs. 4,600 crores. All that Ajay Maken did was to use the R programming language to drill down the data submitted by the BJP itself, which is available publicly on the ECI’s website.

Why this fuss about income inequality? https://www.business-standard.com/opinion/columns/why-this-fuss-about-income-inequality-124032801231_1.html
India has always had income inequality. In the past, it housed a large swathe of the world’s poor, and now it also houses some of the world’s richest, and many in between. This columnist, a homegrown, non-economist people researcher, struggles to understand the expectation that moving from socialism to capitalism should have decreased income inequality, despite the starting point of a steep pyramid on income and human development parameters.
After 1991, a smaller group with skills, assets, education and enterprise, set free with the world as their oyster, seized the opportunity and made quantum leaps in income and wealth.
There is still a huge gap between aspiration (what I want for myself and my family) and opportunity/ access for decent education, health care and employment — more so, In some parts of the country than others. It is this gap that needs constant monitoring and fixing more than the gap between the rich and the poor.
Comment on WA: newer conservative narratives pushed in between blatantly communal divides. namely gap between aspiration and access to education, health care and employment .. in effect Socially Necessary Goods as the carrot... ie the case for Socially Necessary Time of the people with the illusion of "Ease of Living" being provided by IT, phones, communications,

1. You conveniently forget that 4 senior-most Supreme Court judges were forced to hold an unprecedented press conference and warn against "destruction of Democracy". That happened under your regime. One of the judges was nominated by your Govt to the Rajya Sabha. So WHO wants a 'committed judiciary' ?
2. You forget that your party has fielded a Former HC Judge in West Bengal for the current Lok Sabha elections. Why was this candidature bestowed on him?
3. Who brought the National Judicial Appointments Commission (NJAC)? Why was it stuck down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court?
Modi ji, Institution after Institution is being 'bullied' by you into submission, so STOP pinning the blame on the Congress party, for your own sins!
You have mastered the art of manipulating Democracy and hurting the Constitution !
