Thakur cites 'inheritance tax' issue to fire salvo at Gandhis

NEW DELHI: In a no holds barred attack on

Gandhis

, Union minister

Anurag Thakur

accused

Congress

of being influenced by

foreign interests

and promoting divisive agendas.
Thakur, BJP's candidate from Hamirpur, alleged that Congress manifesto bore the imprint of foreign powers, insinuating a nefarious agenda that included the transfer of property from citizens' children to Muslims, the dismantling of the nation's nuclear arsenal, and the propagation of division along caste and regional lines.

Targeting the Gandhi family, he alleged a history of self-serving actions. He accused former PM Rajiv Gandhi of amending laws to safeguard his property and suggested that Rahul , having not married, harboured intentions to appropriate the wealth of citizens' progeny.
"When Rajiv Gandhi became the PM, there was a law that 55% of the property would go to govt, but he abolished this law and saved his property. Now, Rahul did not get married, so he wants to take away your children's property. The Gandhi family does whatever suits them," said Thakur.

Drawing attention to what he termed as the 'Tukde-Tukde' gang's stranglehold on Congress, Thakur urged the electorate to make a choice between aligning with the divisive politics of Congress or embracing the vision of unity embodied by PM Modi's 'Ek Bharat, Shrestha Bharat' mantra.
