Traders being tax collectors and tax payers of the country were deeply worried over Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s statement for giving Rs 72,000 per year to BPL families if they come to power after 2019 general elections, Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said on Monday.
”Traders being tax collectors and tax payers of the Country are deeply worried over statement of Shri Rahul Gandhi for giving Rs. 72000 per year to BPL families which are about 5 crore in the Country,” CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said in a statement.
”It is deeply regretted that Mr Gandhi forgot to announce the source of such a whopping fund and it makes us to believe that this burden will fall on tax payers, if his party comes to power,” he said.
It is a declaration which has been without applying any mind just for greed of votes, he said, adding that it is an irony that loan waiver, other freebies burden always falls on the section which pays tax and gets nothing in return.
”It has become a fashion to impose all burden on tax payers for fulfilling unrealistic declarations. Mr Gandhi has become an expert in making high but lofty declarations,” he said.
”It is also regretted that Mr Gandhi while making declaration did not thought even for once about state of economy of the country,” he said.
