Finance Minister Sitharaman Endorses Stability and Critiques Congress Economic Proposals

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman made a strong statement as she cast her vote in Bengaluru, expressing public support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership and emphasizing the importance of a stable government for progress and development.

Sitharaman criticized the Congress party for advocating inheritance tax-like laws, warning that such policies could reverse India’s progress and hinder the nation’s growth trajectory. She highlighted the potential impact on the middle class and aspirational segments of society, cautioning against measures that punish wealth creators and target their savings and investments.

Accusing the Congress of resorting to personal attacks on PM Modi instead of presenting constructive plans, Sitharaman emphasized the need for positive agendas for the nation’s advancement.

Her remarks came amidst controversy sparked by Sam Pitroda’s comments on inheritance tax, which the Congress swiftly distanced itself from. Sitharaman’s vocal support for stability under PM Modi’s leadership and critique of Congress’ economic proposals set the stage for a spirited debate on the nation’s future direction and economic policies.
