Ashneer Grover took a jibe at Pitroda's statement on inheritance tax, said - taxpayers become meaningless at the time of elections

Regarding the Lok Sabha elections, there is a lot of enthusiasm in Indian politics. where there was ongoing controversy over Congressman Sam Pitroda's remarks regarding the inheritance tax in the United States. The fire has now been fueled by remarks made by Ashneer Grover, the former Shark Tank India judge. According to Grover, politicians can actually get away with making any kind of tax promise during a political rally because the nation's taxpayers are essentially a meaningless minority when it comes to voting.

He stated that you must first comprehend Indian tax politics on the social media platform X. Just 8 crore of the 140 crore Indians who live there file income tax returns. Meanwhile, just 2 crore Indians file taxes. The interesting thing is that out of these two crore people, only 45 lakh people pay 80 percent of the total income tax. There are a total of 97 crore voters. If we calculate, only 0.5 percent of voters pay income tax.

Ashneer Grover said, 'That's why you can get away with saying anything on tax in a political rally. Because the taxpayers are an unimportant minority.

However, Ashneer Grover, who was a judge on Shark Tank India, has not taken the name of any politician. But his statement coming amidst the comments made by Indian Overseas Congress President Sam Pitroda on inheritance tax can create a stir in political circles.

A video of Sam Pitroda was going viral on social media, in which he was referring to America's inheritance tax. He said, 'There is inheritance tax in America. If someone has a net worth of $100 million and when he dies he can give only 45 percent to his children. 55 percent is grabbed by the government. This is an interesting rule. It says that you created wealth in your generation and now you are leaving, you should leave your wealth to the public. Although not completely, only half. I like this fair law.
