Congress attacks government on issue of income inequality
The Congress has accused the Modi government of widening the gap between the ultra-rich and the middle class in India. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh cited publicly available data on income tax returns from 2013-14 to 2021-22 to support his claim. According to Ramesh, the top 1% of income tax payers made 17% of all income in 2013-14, which increased to 23% in 2021-22.
