Rs100 in Goa & Rs305 in Karnataka, excise duty difference defeats spirit of '1 nation, 1 tax'

IndiaTimes Sunday, 4 May 2025 ()
Alcohol prices in India vary significantly across states due to differing excise duties and taxes, with Goa having the lowest levies. This disparity undermines the 'one nation, one tax' principle, encouraging bootlegging and revenue loss for high-tax states. Industry bodies advocate for tax rationalization to promote sustainable revenue growth and discourage excessive consumption, but finance ministers are hesitant to relinquish taxation powers.

Caste Census | How Congress Dodged Data And Betrayed Backwards| Oneindia

For over seven decades, the Congress Caste Census story has been one of deception. While the party projected itself as a voice of social justice, it quietly suppressed real empowerment—caste data. The Congress Caste Census issue resurfaced in Karnataka, where data was buried for years. From the UPA’s ₹5,000 crore SECC failure to internal contradictions and disrespect towards Dalit and tribal leaders, the truth about the Congress Caste Census exposes political doublespeak. Watch this report to understand why accurate caste enumeration was never a priority for the Congress party, and how BJP has changed the narrative. #CongressCasteCensus #CasteCensusTruth #UPAHypocrisy #BJPvsCongress #SocialJusticeDebate ~PR.282~HT.336~GR.124~
