Rajiv Gandhi removed inheritance tax, BJP floated idea in 2019: Shashi

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has criticised BJP over the row about Congress leader Sam Pitroda’s remarks on inheritance tax, saying, "The inheritance tax was abolished by...[ex-PM Rajiv Gandhi] in 1985." "Only party that has even floated the idea...is BJP...in 2019," he claimed. He added that Pitroda is like a "guru on a mountain top", but his mountain top is Chicago.
