New Delhi, Leading News Service: The census which was supposed to be held in 2021 during the Modi government has not yet been conducted. Because Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to end reservation. The Congress party has made such an allegation. The Congress government had conducted the census in 2011. The Congress has demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP clarify their stand on the caste census.
In a press conference held at the Congress headquarters in New Delhi, Congress media general secretary Jairam Ramesh along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the BJP. Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to end reservations, which is why the country is yet to conduct the 2021 census. Also citing some reports, Jairam Ramesh claimed that the BJP will be wiped out in the Lok Sabha elections. He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is trying to mislead the people. After the first phase of the Lok Sabha elections and the predictions before the second phase, there will be a big drop in BJP's performance. There is a lot of resentment against the Modi government. Jairam Ramesh also said.
According to Reserve Bank data, households in the country have taken loans worth Rs 1 lakh crore from banks by mortgaging their gold till March 31, 2024. This information is only between banks. It excludes loans from unorganized sector and moneylenders. If you compare the loan figures from all sectors, you will notice that in the last 10 years, one out of every four families in the country has taken a loan against gold and the Prime Minister talks about Mangalsutra. Jairam Ramesh also said.
Speaking on inheritance tax, Jairam Ramesh said that there is no mention of inheritance tax in the Congress manifesto. It is not even the agenda of Congress. It was Rajiv Gandhi who abolished inheritance tax in 1985. On the contrary, Arun Jaitley, Jayant Sinha supported inheritance tax during 2014-19. Today Prime Minister Modi is blaming Congress. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, Congress's Nyaya Patra talks about redistribution of wealth. Jairam Ramesh directly challenged the Congress to show a single word in its justice paper, which comments on redistribution of wealth.
