In a rally in Jharsuguda, Odisha on September 27, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Congress party, accusing it of having “left no chance to loot people.” He claimed that under Congress rule, even low-income individuals were taxed heavily, whereas under the BJP government, the income tax threshold has been raised significantly and relief measures have been introduced. Modi urged voters to remain vigilant and not trust parties that, he says, have misused power in the past. He also cited examples where, despite cuts in Goods and Services Tax (GST) by the central government, states ruled by Congress continued to impose additional levies—citing Himachal Pradesh raising the cement tax as evidence of what he called Congress’s “loot tantra.” Modi framed his administration’s reforms as ushering in a “savings festival” for citizens, contrasting what he described as exploitative past policies with present reliefs. #ModiInOdisha #CongressCritique #LootTantra #TaxReform #GSTRelief #VoterAlert #JharsugudaRally #OdishaPolitics #ElectionSeason #BJPvsCongress
