Yogi Adityanath attacks Congress with ‘Aurangzeb’s jizya’ jibe

The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath slammed the Congress for advocating the implementation of ‘inheritance tax‘ and linked the entire idea with the ‘Jizya‘ tax that was imposed on the Hindu community during the rule of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.

He was addressing a public rally in Madhya Pradesh‘s Ashok Nagar in support of BJP candidate and Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.

Yogi Adityanath said, “On one hand, Modiji says that he will end the elements of slavery and will respect the heritage. On the other, Congress talks about imposing inheritance tax.”

Yogi stated that the Congress party wanted to impose the Jizya tax of the Aurangzeb era in spite of knowing well the atrocities committed by the Mughal emperor.

Asserting that it was the Scindia family that had “pushed the Afghans out” of the Indian border, he also acknowledged Vijaya Raje Scindia‘s contribution to making the Ram temple dream in Ayodhya a reality.

Jyotiraditya Scindia is contesting his sixth Lok Sabha election from his family bastion, Guna. He had contested his last election on the Congress symbol in 2019 and lost to BJP’s K P Yadav.

Yogi Adityanath expressed full confidence in BJP-NDA’s triumph in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. “I have visited nine states so far for the BJP’s campaign and have noticed a one-sided wave in favour of PM Modi across the country,” said CM Yogi.
