Sam Pitroda's remarks on inheritance tax have stirred a political storm in India. Get the lowdown on the heated debate between Pitroda and PM Modi here!

Sam Pitroda, a prominent figure in Congress, has stirred controversy with his advocacy for an inheritance tax law in India. Pitroda drew attention by highlighting the absence of such a law in the country compared to the US. This move sparked a heated debate, with PM Modi criticizing Congress for supporting wealth redistribution through inheritance tax.

The ongoing row between Pitroda and PM Modi escalated further when the PM accused Congress of advocating to 'loot the living and the dead.' Pitroda's statement on a 50% tax on wealth raising concerns and objections from various quarters, illustrating the divisive nature of the proposed inheritance tax.

In response, PM Modi took a jibe at Congress, likening their intentions to the controversial LIC ad and accusing them of harboring 'dangerous intentions.' The clash between Pitroda and Modi reflects deeper ideological differences on economic policies and wealth redistribution in the political landscape of India.

As the controversy unfolds, it raises pressing questions about the future of taxing inheritance in India and the implications of such a policy. The debate surrounding Pitroda's advocacy for an inheritance tax law continues to polarize opinions and spark intense discussions within the political sphere.
