Arvind Kejriwal ji seems to be the Only Political Leader who asks Questions to the Car Manufacturers.
Important Questions need to be asked and shared until we get the answers 👍
Credit where due.

Still illegal parking extortion is going on at Park Street, Kolkata.
They are charging double the official parking fee without providing any slip. TMC parking tolabaaz are still active. Kindly suspend this company's tender @kmc_kolkata
A detailed video on the clearance of encroached railway land, with a focus on the Dum Dum station: A regular at this station till 2005, I was here again in early April. Glad to see the passages and pavements cleared of both CPM-era and TMC-era illegal settlers.
I see many posts suggesting to FM Madam that - Increase LTCG further to 30%. Don't give an Exit to FIIs so easily. Anyway, they will Sell 😂
In my opinion, this is Not a Healthy Mindset. I disagree respectfully.
It is a free market. Let FIIs completely exit. Why should we Increase Tax for anyone to stay?
We have more than enough Investors & Funds to Buy in. Respect the Huge Money which has been Buying. Sellers should be Allowed to Leave.
The Valuations are Reasonable. The Growth is Steady. Our Debt to GDP is Healthy. Balance Sheets & Cash Flows are Brilliant.
In fact I tell FM Madam - Make LTCG Zero for Long Term Investors. Abolish STT. If FIIs want to Exit, let them Get Out with Head Held High !!! After a Weakening Rupee, they Deserve atleast something.
@nsitharaman ji - Show that you care for Investing Community. Investing comes with a Risk. It comes with a Patience. Reward Long Term Investors.

A Middle Class Tax Paying Citizen visits a local Honda Showroom to Buy a 110 CC Honda Activa Standard Model. Their First Vehicle.
He has already paid proper Income Tax and only then gets Salary.
He gets a quotation of ₹97456 + extra for Accessories.
He asks for Breakup.
He sees that the Basic Price of the Vehicle is only ₹66337.
GST (18%) comes to ₹11940 (9% to State & 9% to Central)
Then Road Tax + Registration + Smart Card etc comes to ₹13279.
Insurance is ₹5000 + ₹900 GST.
So basically he pays ₹66337 to Honda & ₹26089 in the form of GST & Road Tax & other charges.
For accessories, he has to pay additionally ₹4000 to ₹5000 which also includes GST.
He closes his eyes and imagines the Road on which they will be riding in the Monsoon which will come now. He imagines riding on the roads filled with water logging. He knows that the roads are not upto the mark. He wishes his Road Tax was fully utilized on High Quality Pothole Free Roads.
He feels bad for paying Road Tax for Roads which have potholes in the city. He knows that his Health will go down. But he has no choice. He cannot take a Car because he would be stuck for hours in a jam.
He feels that he has paid Income Tax, but has to pay 18% GST for a basic 2 wheeler. He has to pay 18% GST on Vehicle Insurance. On Accessories.
Then he looks at his family. He sees the joy on their faces as they purchase their first vehicle. He takes his phone out.
He makes the payment using Digital India UPI & takes the vehicle home !!! His family is happy. He goes to work next day.
Story of Middle Class.

Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji,
I have said it before. And I'll say it again. Loud & Clear. I hope you read this. My audience will repost this until it reaches the Ministry.
LTCG of 12.5% on Equities is one of the Lowest in the World.
But there are a few issues:
1. LTCG was ZERO from 2004 to 2018. STT was introduced to offset the Loss in Revenue. It incentivised long term Investors to Hold on Patiently and enjoy Long Term Returns. I believe that Step was something Golden and rewards Long Term Thinking. FM Madam should reconsider this. Keep STT. Abolish LTCG. Consider Long Term Investors as a Partner in Growth of India.
2. STT is already taken for every transaction. This is a tax. Again putting Capital Gain, especially on Long Term Gains is not Ok. This is my Opinion. STT is borne by the investor irrespective of Profit or Loss.
3. We are not against Paying Taxes. In fact, we all Pay Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, GST, Excise, VAT, Tax on Dividends and what not. The problem is the Freebies which are Distributed during the Elections. This is not at all ok. We don't want a single rupee of our Capital Gains to be used for Freebies. Please.
I humbly request the FM Madam to Abolish LTCG on Equities. Make the Long Term Period 24 months instead of 12 months. You will see Patient Capital 👍 We need Patient Capital to Drive Markets. Incentivise Long Term Investing Mindset.
For Indian Investors like me, the Pain is lesser. We will continue to Create Wealth. But what about our FII brothers & sisters. They also deserve to get minimum returns in Dollar Terms.
I feel for the FIIs who have suffered due to declining Rupee and they still have to pay LTCG on Rupee Terms. Something the FM Madam and team should revisit.
I think that it is a good time to implement this. FII no longer control our markets. Domestic Funds are consistent and plenty. If FIIs leave, let them Leave with Head Held High. That is our Responsibility.
India Structually is Brilliant. Let's make it Tax Friendly as well.
Patient Capital will Flow More & Stay, if these Steps are Taken.
A Proud Indian Investor,

Stop throwing a fit. Delhi Gymkhana is a private club. No one’s taking away your membership of it. Just that, leave aside valid security concerns, taxpayers are no longer willing to subsidise to the tune of thousands of crores, your stale cutlets and evening swims.

We are taxed thrice on most things. And, get poor quality stuff. People don't care to question enough.
Why? because effectively 3% of our population pays direct taxes.
Everyone pays indirect taxes, but most don't understand that they are paying a tax of any kind.
Most people can't even read food labels, do you really think they understand "indirect" taxes?
No, they don't. And, hence they don't bother.
It is not as if we can't expand our tax base. But, asking people to pay direct income tax is an assault on their pockets.
It is easy to simply increase indirect taxes and introduce multiple layers of taxation, even do open corruption.
But, expanding direct tax base? NO. Not politically feasible.
What about 3% paying direct income tax. Honestly, at least 90%+ will move out, if they can. That's a fact. The 3% have been forced to sign up for a subscription that they don't want. And, can't avoid.
Fair taxation will only come when MOST people pay direct income taxes. And, that is unlikely to happen.
Therefore, we get Ladli Ladki & Berozgaar Ladka yojnas, not fair taxation.
“We can’t stand in queues like the general public,” say our elected representatives. Yet it is that very public that stands in line to vote them into power, pays for the system they enjoy, and is now being told that equality ends where privilege begins. Sad is this justice! Do you agree with me?
Dear @grok ji,
In 2026, almost 80% to 90% of the vehicles on the road today are NOT E20 compliant.
Now we are moving towards E30 Fuel. So all the vehicles on the road today will have to be modified or scrapped eventually.
Clearly people with existing non Ethanol compliant vehicles are not benefited. The price is also high for the blended fuel. We pay above ₹100 for 1 Litre of fuel. Mileage also is not great. So both ways it hurts. A big portion of the price goes as taxes & excise. Actual price of fuel is far lesser. I am also reading that ethanol blending doesn't reduce the price overall.
So tell me - Who really benefits from this blending? Be straight. Non diplomatic.

Dear FM Madam @nsitharaman ji, PM @narendramodi ji, Petroleum Minister @HardeepSPuri ji,
