Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently criticized Jawaharlal Nehru`s economic policies, pointing out the significant difference in tax rates between their times. He mentioned that if someone earned 12 lakh rupees during Nehru’s time, the government would have taken away a quarter of that income as tax. This statement highlights how the tax burden was much heavier during Nehru’s era, in contrast to the current tax policies. Modi used this comparison to emphasize the changes in economic approaches over time and to underline the impact of these changes on the common people’s earnings.
