NEVER MORE IMPORTANT

NEVER   MORE   IMPORTANT 

For BJP , winning the upcoming State Elections ( West Bengal - Tamilnadu - Assam - Kerala - Pondicherry ) in 2016 , is very important

Currently , these are all non-BJP states , with a combined total of :

*  825  MLAs ( of which , only  5 MLAs belong to BJP  !  )

*    52  Rajya Sabha Members

For BJP , winning is important because of the Economic Reforms getting stalled in Rajya Sabha , where it lacks a majority

As far as the citizens of all these States are concerned , having a BJP government in their States can make a big difference to their economic progress , due to much better coordination with the BJP-led Central Government

But , while campaigning , BJP cannot use this argument to win a popular mandate  !  We know why  !

However , of all the political parties contesting , ONLY  BJP hold a  TRUMP  CARD  !

To win , all that Amitbhai Shah would like is for Shri Arun Jaitleyji to make following Budget announcement on 29 Feb 2016 ( before the Model Code of Conduct , kicks in ) :

"  Starting 01 April 2016 , Personal Income Tax stands abolished for SC / ST / OBC / Dalit and other Economically Backward Communities ( EBC = persons with annual income below Rs 5 lakhs ) "

Now , which political party dare oppose such a Poor-Friendly measure  ?

If any party does , it is bound to lose the votes of these communities !

And the beauty of this " Winning Strategy " is :

Hardly any adverse impact on revenues of the Central Government  !

Of some 3 crore individual tax-payers , no more than 1 crore , may belong to such communities

And together, they might be contributing no more than 10 % of the Personal Tax Revenue of Rs 2.5 lakh*crores  !

Now , very likely , Shri Jaitleyji will turn around and ask Amitbhai Shah :

"  Would not this lead to similar demand ( total abolition of Personal Income Tax ) , from rest of the Voters ? "

Of course , it would !

But then , Amitbhai would say :

"  Right now , we have a war to be won . In love and war , everything is fair  !
