Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at the BJP-led central government, saying its tax structure is designed to loot the poor.

“GST is a system to steal from the poor. Eight per cent of poor are tribal, 15 per cent are Dalit, 50 are from backward classes and 15 per cent from minorities,” Gandhi said while addressing a public gathering in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad.

The Congress leader alleged that the “Indian tax structure is to loot the poor. Adani pays taxes equivalent to you. Dharavi land, worth Rs 1 lakh crore, is being handed over to him”.

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress leader alleged that while Modi travels in seaplanes, goes inside the sea, the poor and women bear the brunt of the price rise.

Gandhi further alleged that Scheduled Tribes (STs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) constitute 90% of India’s population, but they are not represented in Government institutions.

“We will give to the poor funds equivalent to the debt of capitalists waived by PM Modi,” said Gandhi.

Hemant Soren says BJP smashed backbone of poor states, squeezed Jharkhand like a lemon

The Chief Minister criticised the saffron party for allegedly undermining the political discourse in the country.

Launching a scathing attack on the BJP, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Saturday accused the saffron party of squeezing the state like a lemon for several years and smashing the backbone of poor states.

The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha chief further accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led central government of destroying the country’s federal structure by creating double-engine governments through anti-defection activities like poaching MLAs and MPs and toppling governments.

“BJP squeezed Jharkhand like a lemon in the last 20 years, but this has to end now. We feed the cow and they milk it. This cannot be allowed anymore. They plundered Jharkhand’s wealth. It is a paradox that Jharkhand, rich in mineral resources, is one of the poorest states,” Soren claimed in an exclusive interview with PTI.

The Chief Minister alleged that despite the state’s rich resources like coal, iron ore, bauxite, and dolomite, revenue collection is hampered by the central government’s GST regime, which smashed the backbone of states like Jharkhand. “It did nothing to address our financial needs,” he said.

He reiterated the requests that he has made to PM Modi regarding the Rs 1.36 lakh-crore coal dues to the state, which is yet to be cleared.

Continuing his charges against the BJP, Soren said BJP is acting on a “fixed agenda of divisive politics, Hindu-Muslim polarisation, and communal hatred to grab power”, claiming that it is the misfortune of the country that healthy political competition was being wiped out.

“They have no agenda for development, employment, or economic prosperity. The only agenda they know is division. They speak of divisive politics, foster communal hatred, and promote Hindu-Muslim polarisation,” CM Soren alleged.

He claimed that the BJP-led Centre could not digest a tribal CM completing a full five-year tenure, accusing it of holding the elections before time to undermine his government. He also accused the central dispensation of being a “poaching master”.

“The BJP-led Centre is a poaching master. They are experts in poaching MLAs, MPs, and toppling governments,” Soren alleged.

“Ever since we came to power, they have thrown everything at us – irrelevant allegations, conspiracies, and smear campaigns. They thought they could break our party, buy our MLAs, but with the people’s blessings, I came out, stronger than ever,” he claimed.

The Chief Minister criticised the saffron party for allegedly undermining the political discourse in the country.

Asaduddin Owaisi lauds SC ruling on AMU’s minority status, says BJP must introspect

The Hyderabad MP said that the saffron party has made every effort to attack AMU and Jamia, and “our right to even run madrasas”.

Asking the BJP to introspect and go for a course correction for its stand on the central university, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday lauded the Supreme Court’s order after it overruled the 1967 judgement on the minority status of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).

Overruling its 57-year-old judgement that stated the university could not be considered a minority institution since it was created by a central law, the Supreme Court today deferred the question of AMU’s minority status to a new bench.

Schooling the BJP for its stance on the AMU, the AIMIM president said the BJP has opposed the minority status of AMU over all these years. “What is it going to do now?” he asked.

The Hyderabad MP said that the saffron party has made every effort to attack AMU and Jamia, and “our right to even run madrasas”.

He said the Modi govt should take this judgement in its stride and it should support AMU as it is also a central university. “Jamia gets ₹3L per student, AMU gets ₹3.9L per student, but BHU gets ₹6.15L,” he claimed in a post on X.

He added, “Jamia and AMU have consistently performed well in national rankings. With the right support the Universities could be globally renowned. But for that, Modi must stop discriminating against them. AMU’s Kishanganj centre has been languishing for the past many years. This must also be addressed urgently and the centre should begin working as soon as possible,” he said.

“It is an important day for Muslims of India. The 1967 judgement had rejected minority status of #AMU when in fact it was. Article 30 states that minorities have the right to establish and administer their educational institutions in a manner that they deem fit,” Owaisi said.

He said the “right of minorities to educate themselves has been upheld”, congratulating the students and faculty of AMU.

“It does not matter if the University was established before the Constitution, or if it was set up by a law of the govt. It is a minority institution if it was established by minorities. All the arguments of the BJP were rejected,” he added.
