BJP the ruling party is claiming to be winning 400+ seats and forming goverment again with majority in india’s 75 year of history only once Congress goverment in 60-70s formed goverment with record breaking 420+ seats its gonna be exciting the exit polls will be out in few hours it will be interesting to see whether BJP can break that record of claiming so vast majority..
My prediction is that BJP and Narendra modi’s goverment will come in center again with winning 360+ seats atleast minimmum INC Congress had failed to grab back their position at center as Congress had ruled for 50+ years but it was in 2014 when their record was so bad with scams of billions of $ and money laundering people had to give BJP a chance and ever since they have been in center for last 10 years this will be Narendra modi’s 3rd term as Prime Minister of india if his party wins which is somewhat sure shot to win..
Also india being home to 1.45 Billion people its the world’s largest democracy with now India has over 19 million crypto investors, with 115 million estimated users, representing 15% of the Indian population aged between 18 to 60 years (Source: India Today).
The crypto tax in india is one of the worst out there in world..
1% TDS on every transaction +30% flat tax with no option to set off ur loss and banning and freezing bank accounts of users who have done P2P transactions or not disclose their crypto holdings in their ITR files..
Indian crypto is rising and currently having 119M active users in crypto and all demanding governent to reduce tax and atleast allow investors to have a loss setoff which is harming the industry and innovators.. although investors feel india were hist of G20 meeting where Crypto regulation were discussed and india and all G20 countires had agreed to Regulate crypto by 2024-25
What you guys think or do u follow indian politics i would love to know ur point of view as outsiders?
