The Bharatiya Janata Party,fearful of impending defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, has been misusing autonomous institutions like the IT Department,ED,and CBI to undermine the Congress Party.
As part of this tactic,they have unleashed ‘tax terrorism’ on our party.The BJP is under the illusion that by weakening our party, it can win the election.
The IT department has issued a notice to the Congress Party,alleging unpaid income taxes and demanding a payment of Rs.1,823 crore.
Our leaders have revealed that between 2017 and 2018, the BJP obtained contributions from 92 undisclosed donors,and from 1,297 donors lacking address details, amounting to Rs.42 crore.
Should the same criteria be applied to the BJP,it would be liable to pay Rs.4,263 crore for tax discrepancies over the last seven years.
As the election approaches,the Income Tax Department has become hyperactive,using ‘tax terrorism’ as a tool against opposition parties,including TMC and CPI.
However, the same IT Department,which aggressively targets opposition parties, mysteriously turns a blind eye to the BJP’s tax violations.The public is not so ignorant as to not question who is blindfolding the IT Department.
The IT Department,which levies accusations of tax violations against certain Congress leaders citing supposed diary entries,overlooks the Yediyurappa diaries exposed in Karnataka,as well as the ‘Birla-Sahara’ diary that suggests Narendra Modi as a beneficiary.
Why have these not caught the department’s attention?
It is public knowledge that the ruling BJP has misappropriated thousands of crores through electoral bonds, misusing institutions like IT, ED, and CBI.
However, now,in order to divert the people’s attention from this huge scam, the BJP government is making false accusations of income tax evasion with the malicious intention of portraying the opposition parties as guilty.
In the past five years,the BJP government has written off around Rs.10.09 lakh crore of bank loans of fraudsters like Vijay Mallya and Nirav Modi.
The public deserves to know how much kickbacks the BJP received from these individuals.
The true power of the Congress Party lies in its grassroots support,not in financial resources.In contrast,the BJP leans on financial clout, but our strength is the backing of the populace.
The BJP’s foundation rests on tax evaders,bank destabilisers,mining plunderers,black market traders, and robbers.
The BJP has become a washing machine that swallows corrupt money and issues certificates of honesty to the corrupt.
Joining the BJP seems to cleanse all sins, allowing continued corruption and embezzlement without any legal consequences or investigations.
The BJP has ascended to and preserved its position of power through the misappropriated funds of these fraudsters. .
‘Operation Kamala’ in Karnataka stands as a prominent example of this.
Seeing Prime Minister Narendra Modi boast of winning 400 seats while engaging in such illegal activities to crush the opposition reveals that he has clearly seen the writing on the wall.
The emperor’s clothes are falling off one by one, exposing the BJP and its so-called leaders to the enlightened voters of the country.
