Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed Vijay Sankalp Shankhnaad Maharally in Chhattisgarh's Surguja. The PM reiterated that the Congress manifesto reflects the thinking of the Muslim League. He said that those who considered the Congress as their ancestral property, would not want Indians to pass on their properties to their children.
He said: "The royal family's prince's advisor and the royal family's prince's father's advisor have said that more taxes should be imposed on the middle class. Now, Congress says that it will impose an Inheritance Tax, and it will also impose tax on the Inheritance received from parents. The property you have accumulated through your hard work will not be given to your children.
"The claws of Congress will snatch that too from you. As long as you are alive, Congress will impose higher taxes and when you are no longer alive, it will burden you with Inheritance Tax. Those people who considered the entire Congress party as their ancestral property and handed it over to their children, now do not want Indians to pass on their property to their children."
