BHOPAL: Uttar Pradesh chief minister
Yogi Adityanath
on Saturday alleged that the
Congress
manifesto talks about bringing about
Aurangzeb
‘s ‘Jizjya’ through
inheritance tax
, and promises ‘freedom of choice of food for the minority community.’
Campaigning for Jyotiraditya Scindia in Guna’s Ashokenagar, he said that people of Guna were “lucky to have Scindia since he has a vision for the future”.
Scindia said he would take inspiration from Adityanath and “won’t allow any wrongdoing (‘galat kaam’) in his region”.
Scindia also urged voters to make a “triple engine sarkar”.
“The cruelest Mughal Badshah was Aurangzeb. Cultured Muslim families do not name their sons Aurangzeb. He imposed
jizya
tax. Today, Congress in its manifesto is also talking about Jizya. That is what they call ‘inheritance tax’,” Adityanath said.
While PM Modi says he will end the symbols of ghulami (slavery) but respects our heritage, Congress manifesto says they will impose inheritance tax, the UP CM said.
