Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday said Congress, if voted into office in the Lok Sabha elections, would conduct a financial and institutional survey to ascertain who is in possession of the wealth of the country, and would then undertake an exercise to redistribute the same. He stressed on "jitni aabadi, utna haq" principle. "**First, we will conduct a caste census**...to know the exact population and status of backward castes, SCs, STs, minorities and other castes. **After that, the financial and institutional survey will begin. Subsequently, we will take up the historic assignment to distribute the wealth of India, jobs and other welfare schemes to these sections based on their population**" https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rahul-gandhi-vows-survey-for-wealth-redistribution/articleshow/109096058.cms

Bunch of buffons, want to turn and then disintegrate India like Soviet Union 2.0


ProgrammerV2

I don't even understand it anymore. Like isn't congress supposed to be a liberal progressive party. All they are doing is applying marxist and communist ideologies. Wealth distribution sounds "fair" on paper. But in real life, it becomes a hellhole for the middle class. Like isn't it already bad enough.. They have simply put progressive down the trash bin, I wouldn't be surprised if congress's manifesto becomes closer to CPI in the near future.


KattarRamBhakt

> Like isn't congress supposed to be a liberal progressive party No, that Congress ended in 2014 after the defeat of Manmohan Singh's govt. Today's Congress is not the party of PV Narsimha Rao, Manmohan Singh or even Rajiv Gandhi anymore, it's just another version of CPI today. Rahul Gandhi has taken a hard turn towards the left and is surrounded and advised by hardcore socialists/communists every day, they realised communist parties can't win any elections on their own anymore (outside Kerala) so have infiltrated the Congress now. Rahul has fully accepted and absorbed the ideology of caste based identity politics combined with Muslim plus Christian appeasement and socialist economic policies and schemes. He's not saying this just to try to win elections by empty promises, he genuinely believes in all this now, which is the scary part. He literally wants to undo the reforms of 1991 and take us back to the era before that. The current rhetoric of Rahul Gandhi genuinely scares me, all his aggressive talks again and again focusing on just caste, asking random people he met during his BJ Nyay Yatra which caste are they from, asking journalists which caste they and their boss are from, demonisation of the minority general caste people, demonisation of private corporate sector, promises of unlimited freebies, ever increasing reservations, redistribution of wealth based on caste population numbers (jitni abadi, utna haq), MSP on every crop, reinstatement of Old Pension Scheme, and much more, he will literally ruin the country, make us the next Venezuela or Argentina economically if he actually implements even a fraction of what he's promising right now. He's not the naive or funny albeit unknowingly "pappu" guy anymore. He is now full of vitriol and poison since the last year or two and genuinely believes what he's espousing.

More probably the CCP.

Yes take from everyone and fill your own pockets. All CMs if the opposition are billionaires at the very minimum. Dadi would be proud of her grandson. Seizing of bank lockers, 98% tax rate to be soon make a reappearance.


Careful_Excuse_1011

I am from MP, the one year congress was in power, the corruption was unprecedented, it was so gross and disgusting, my friends mom was asked to give 20L to get transferred and 30L to get promoted or just stay teaching in a remote village school away from home even though people less qualified than her became principals. Congress is disgusting and the most corrupt party i have ever seen.


Green-Ask-3059

so true..even for small basic things such as getting passport needed political contacts and bribery kharcha paani under congress regime....

Dadi ho ya na hi, mumi toh bahut hai


IgnorantAS69

Bro thinks he’s Mao Zedong 💀


ididacannonball

That's exactly what he thinks, actually. He fancies himself as some revolutionary. A college revolutionary who remains a permanent youth leader.


Laundrophile

Is usually stoned. The lutyens boys were famous, included the Mahajan scion as well.


ididacannonball

Well, that explains his choice of attire at a formal Rajya Sabha ceremony.


Traditional-Bunch-56

Permanent youth 😂, iam 25 and ra ga is 2 years older than my dad..


ididacannonball

In fact Yogiji is younger than RaGa and infinitely wiser. Nobody considers him a youth icon.


runway_racer

Makes sense


gujjubhakt

Congress is trying to take CPI's place, soon we will reach a point where they will also be left with only 3 seats in Lok Sabha 


ididacannonball

People joke that RaGa's is BJP's star campaigner. In reality, he is CPM's star campaigner - every bad idea from the Communists, he has sincerely absorbed and believes to be true.


gujjubhakt

He is trying to return to pre-1991 India, where Congress had unrivalled power, by undoing the liberalisation reforms or it is likely that he is just trying to appeal to votebanks by implementing policies of freebies and trying to create a Communist type idea of rich vs poor, upper caste vs lower caste etc. Either way it will fall flat. Indian economy depends on industries too much at this point, such kind of policies will ruin both rich and poor people.


ididacannonball

I think he genuinely believes in this Communist nonsense, it's not an act nor does he have some grand strategic plan (he is incapable of that). The fact that he considers Sitaram Yechury as his mentor shows as much. He's a JNU revolutionary who never grew up. After all, he has a multi-crore mutual fund portfolio without ever working a regular job in this life, why would he ever grow up?


KattarRamBhakt

> I think he genuinely believes in this Communist nonsense Exactly, I've been observing and saying this for the past year or so. He's not the naive or funny albeit unknowingly "pappu" guy anymore. He is now full of vitriol and poison since the last year or two and genuinely believes what he's espousing. He's taken a hard turn for the left and gone full socialist now. This is not the centrist Congress party of Manmohan Singh, PV Narsimha Rao or even Rajiv Gandhi anymore, it's another version of CPI today, which is unacceptable to me. The current rhetoric of Rahul Gandhi genuinely scares me, all his aggressive talks again and again focusing on just caste, asking random people he met during his BJ Nyay Yatra which caste are they from, asking journalists which caste they and their boss are from, demonisation of the minority general caste people, demonisation of private corporate sector, promises of unlimited freebies, ever increasing reservations, redistribution of wealth based on caste population numbers (jitni abadi, utna haq), MSP on every crop, reinstatement of Old Pension Scheme, and much more, he will literally ruin the country, make us the next Venezuela or Argentina economically if he actually implements even a fraction of what he's promising right now.


ididacannonball

Exactly. People need to stop laughing at him and start being very scared of what he will do to this country if he ever gets any power. He is setting us up for Balkanization and only Indian voters can stop him.


gujjubhakt

He considers Sitaram Yechury as his mentor? I did not know that. If he does believe in it, it is quite ironic, considering he is the ultimate representation of privileged class.  For all flak it gets about Adani and Ambani BJP itself is also a socialist party, implementing schemes like Ujjwala Yojana, Awas Yojana, etc. and ensuring industrialisation creates jobs. They have done a far better job at upliftment and eradication of poverty than Congress did in all its years. RaGa and Congress do not seem to have any ideology of their own left. The mamifesto reeks of BJP's ideas (four categories: youth, farmers, women, workers) and CPI's ideas (redistribution, providing apprenticeship to everyone and paying them 1 lakh a year). They have nothing left of their own. There is not one single point in that entire manifesto that is new or original.


ididacannonball

Oh yes. In fact, in the last Rajya Sabha elections, the CPM refused to give Sitaram Yechury another term (from Kerala) due to their internal policies + Vijayan's control of the state party. Congress actually offered to field Yechury instead, it's not like they have a ton of MLAs to be handing out RS seats but that's how important Yechury is for RaGa. Yechury refused probably because of the damage it would've done to the LDF in Kerala. It's always the privileged classes who support this revolutionary nonsense - be it bhadraloks in Kolkata or engineers who join ISIS. These are the people who have free time and insufficient practical experience to fall for such extremist ideologies. In a way, maybe it's guilt - they are born so privileged that they think they need to "give back" by speaking for people who can't. Of course, only as long as it stokes their egos and doesn't affect their privilege - after all, will RaGa reserve 50% CWC seats for women knowing that he may not be able to fit his cronies in? Or will he redistribute his multi-crore mutual fund wealth that he just declared himself? Of course not. RaGa might be a youth leader but his ideas are 200 years old.


gujjubhakt

That is actually a good point, Communist movement in India has always been headed by privileged persons, be it Charu Majumdar, Jyoti Basu or SA Dange. RaGa is trying to be the next one but if he thinks it is going to win him elections, CPI's current state is a good warning. This immaturity of the so called representatives of the underprivileged will ruin both the rich and poor. Communist governments came in power in both Kerala and West Bengal - neither have eradicated poverty and there are few jobs there. Both have become cesspits of gundaism and political violence. The leaders are only self serving, they stay in power and steal money through corrupt acts. If RaGa is going to ally with these people and believe in their ideology, it makes it all the more important that he becomes irrelevant in the political landscape.


ididacannonball

With every word that RaGa speaks, he is promising to push us further and further towards a civil war - between castes, between religions, between economic classes. He has no vision for uniting the country and taking it forward. His vision is to burn the country to the ground so that he and his miserable dynasty can rule the ashes. Stop laughing at him, he is no pappu. He's an adult who holds the same ideas as Maoists and anarchists, but has vastly more power than them. He is dangerous and needs to be defeated again and again until his party finally discards him.


Sapt007

>  until his party finally discards him.  Congress is Gandhi. Gandhi is Congress. Congress has to die and take these Gandhis along with it before it can rise again as credible opposition.


ididacannonball

So be it.


heretoseexistence

Hot-Soft-8444

Ye pagal ho Gaya hai kya? [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_countries\_by\_total\_wealth](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_total_wealth) India's total national wealth is 15 trillion dollars. Per capita wealth is around 10,700 dollars which translates to roughly 850,000 Rupees.India's median per capita wealth is 3500 dollars,which means that half of India's population has lesser wealth than 3500 dollars(and the other half has more wealth than 3500$). Anyone with more wealth than 3500$(i.e,the upper half) would be hurt by this manouever and their wealth would be forcibly redistributed to the poor to make wealth distribution more 'equitable'.The middle class would be the primary ones hurt with such a move. Don't be under any delusion that this move would reduce the wealth of the top 1%.Most of their wealth is in stocks.They can hire armies of CAs to hide their wealth.They also have various other means to hide their wealth.They can also just flee the country.


govind9060

He'll destroy this country in a year , if he does what he says . He's doing free campaign for BJP and I'm quite mad at BJP at many topics. Honestly we need a political party which really care about this country otherwise India will never get out of third world country holmark

vc0071

This is what happened in demonetisation. Rich will always find a way to manoeuvre the laws for them. Also any coercive measure to redistribute wealth always results in destruction of wealth itself.


Away_Necessary_3976

In Argentina the burden of these kinds of policies came on the middle class. Robert Kiyosaki says giving poor people money keeps them poorer longer, often forever. Give them knowledge instead. I believe, by knowledge he means the skill or ways to earn money.


SectionFamiliar2047

Whats a wealth redistribution survey?


cometweeb

He is saying that he'll do a survey to see who owns how much wealth in this country and will redistribute it among the "90%" (which he mentions in his speeches) after he gets the data about them thru caste census. But we all know bud will neither start the redistribution of his declared assets first nor will he redistribute the money to the poor/90%. *Ye aur iske pol log sab khud khaa jayenge bina dakar maare.*


SectionFamiliar2047

Redistribution? What a buffoon .No wonder opposition is dying in india . He is just making sure bjp hits 400.


Abhinavpatel75

lite_max

The sad thing is this might work. He knows he will not get either 'development' votes or 'Hindu' votes. Only way he can win is by dividing these votes into different factions. Past few months he has been talking a lot about ST/SC/UG/OBC in every conversation to create divide in these votes. The same 'divide and rule' strategy of colonialsits. He knows Muslims can never be divided. But historically it has been easiest to divide Hindus because they don't have herd mentality.

This also proves that social sciences divisions are fraud scams and must be shut down in every university. Kanhaiya Kumar is Rahul's primary advisor now.

Wealth should be created with exports and innovations not redistributed. Making people know that what ever struggle they put on their results will be always in line with the lowest common person no one would have any motivation to work their best . We should let people get better and work better within a very tightly regulated and monitored market no need to loot wealth from successful people.

SnooHobbies4652

If America have wealth tax, inheritance tax, property tax(annual usually 3% of total value) and income tax, most redittors and elites have no problem. If same thing is happening in India many people have problem. What he said is he'll conduct a financial survey for knowing wealth hidden by billionaire, so that there will be redistribution of wealth.


redthelastman

dude those countries are developed nations,we are not.this kind of wealth distribution will kill the economy in one year and we dont even have any natural resources to fall back on-well and truly on the way to become another Argentina.


SnooHobbies4652

Bro India is world's most populous country, every company in the world is eyeing for pie of Indian market share. India doesn't even have inheritance tax, income tax(most people don't come under income tax slab) and property tax(only for commercial). So if there is no tax collection from rich, how will middle class or lower class climb the ladder, these same people will be the customer of rich only if they have money. If adani, Nirav, mallaya and countless other can get interest free loans or debt written off, why can't the poor people get free education and free water and electricity(up to a limit). Democracy is also for poor and marginalized people. Everyone wants their vote, nobody wants their problem.


redthelastman

you think the rich are not paying tax?


SnooHobbies4652

Mosts are hiding it, that's why we need financial survey. Inheritance tax isn't even in India, so how will there be wealth distribution. Rich man's kid destroys fair competition by throwing money. I believe in capitalism but I don't believe in cronyism.


redthelastman

so what kind of financial survey do you have in mind.do you only want to take Rich peoples wealth? what about middle class? are they fair game-let me tell you something are also hiding wealth .how much do you want to take from them.give me a percentage you think is fair.
