'Congress ki loot zindagi ke saath bhi, zindagi ke baad bhi': PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party during an election rally in Chhattisgarh, aiming his criticism at Sam Pitroda's recent remarks on inheritance tax.

Modi accused the Congress of harboring intentions to strip away the rights of people's children by advocating for more taxes, reflecting a broader narrative of economic policies detrimental to the middle class. His remarks underscored a political narrative portraying the Congress as out of touch with the concerns of ordinary citizens, particularly regarding taxation and economic policies.

The Prime Minister's speech highlighted a strategic move to capitalize on populist sentiment, painting the Congress as elitist and disconnected from the interests of the common man. By invoking the term "Shahi parivar's shehzada" (referring to the scion of a royal family), Modi sought to frame the Congress leadership as detached from the realities faced by middle-class families.

 This rhetoric aligns with the BJP's broader electoral strategy of portraying itself as the champion of the common man's interests, contrasting sharply with what it characterizes as the Congress's pro-elite stance.

In this context, Modi's remarks serve to galvanize support for the BJP among middle-class voters by framing the party as the defender of their economic well-being and parental rights.

 By linking Pitroda's comments to a broader narrative of Congress's alleged disregard for the concerns of ordinary citizens, Modi aims to reinforce the perception of BJP as the party of choice for those seeking economic empowerment and protection from excessive taxation.
