He said that this is a very interesting law. Under this, there is a provision that you have created a lot of wealth in your life and after your death; you should leave your wealth to the public. Not the whole property but half, which seems right to me. But there is no such law in India; I think people should discuss such issues. I don’t know what the outcome of this discussion will be. We are talking about new policies and new programs, which should be in the interest of the people and not just in the interest of the rich.
BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya said that Congress has decided to destroy the country. Now, Sam Pitroda is advocating 50 percent inheritance tax. This means that if Congress comes to power, fifty percent of the wealth that people have earned through hard work will be taken away. Apart from this, whatever tax we pay will also increase.
