Congress was the focus of PM Modi

Before I took office in 2014, the Congress administration used to impose various taxes on a wide range of commodities, including life insurance, kitchenware, agricultural products, and medications. If it were the same age, you would have to pay Rs. 20–25 in taxes now if you purchased anything for Rs. 100. However, our government’s goal is to improve people’s lives and maximize savings for the average citizen.
