‘Modi’s Economic Terrorism…’: Congress’ S.O.S. After 65 Crores ‘Loss’ Just Weeks Before LS Polls

Congress has alleged that the Modi government is unleashing “economic terrorism” against the opposition after Income Tax “recovered” ₹65 crore from the grand old party. Congress treasurer Ajay Maken said political parties are out of the purview of taxation, calling the IT action politically motivated. ‘Is it common for National Political Parties to pay Income Tax? No. Does the BJP pay Income Tax? No. Why is the Congress Party facing an unprecedented demand of ₹210 crores?" the senior Congress leader said during a press conference in the national capital, raising fears on the party’s potential to justly fight the upcoming elections.
