Kirti Azad sought to poke holes in the BJP's Hindu nationalism plank, saying if the saffron party persists in using the «Hindu Khatre mein» (Hindus in danger) narrative despite being in power for ten years, it raises doubts about the party's necessity to return to power. The former BJP MP-turned-TMC nominee from West Bengal's Bardhaman-Durgapur Lok Sabha seat, also said the issue of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) was a «ploy to communalise the polls» since the saffron camp «lacks an impressive report card to present before the masses». In an interview with PTI, Azad highlighted India's diversity and argued against the feasibility of implementing UCC in such a varied cultural landscape while stressing that history belies BJP's claims of Hindu insecurity under previous regimes. «During the Mughal rule, Hindus were not under threat; they were not in peril during British rule; even under multiple governments post-Independence, Hindus never faced any perceived danger. So how come Hindus are suddenly in danger when a Hindu nationalist party is in power for the last 10 years?» he argued.

Sam Pitroda, a yesteryear technocrat, recently rattled the beehive after he suggested India should consider inheritance tax as a means of income redistribution. Even in the US, the super-rich avoid giving back by setting up tax-free trust funds for inheritance. In India, where tax evasion is both endemic and high, tax harvesting for distribution of wealth can only come from a highly incentivised low-tax regime with high volumes of taxpayers, for whom gains from paying up outweigh pains of evasion. In a 2001 IMF paper, 'Tax Policy for Developing Countries', Vito Tanzi and Howell Zee wrote, '...the most prevalent forms of incentives found in developing countries tend to be the least meritorious… personal income taxes have been contributing very little to total tax revenue in many developing countries'. More than two decades later, this is still true. Worse, personal income-taxpayers in India live in an abnormal environment of taxation where they get next to nothing for compliance and good citizenry. Sure, it can be argued that they get roads, utilities and other infra. But these are delivered to all citizens, including those who systematically evade taxes, giving honest taxpayers only the advantage of a good conscience.
