The Congress on Sunday claimed that the Modi government's retrograde policies have broken the confidence of investors in India and converted the ease of doing business to unease in doing business.
Ahead of the Union Budget, the opposition party said that to fix this, the upcoming budget must eliminate raid raj and tax terrorism.
It also called on the government to take action to protect Indian manufacturing jobs and take decisive action to shore up wages and purchasing power.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said the Modi government has long proclaimed its desire to improve the "ease of doing business" in India but yet in the past decade "we have only seen an easing of private investment which has fallen to record lows and the easing out of businesspersons who have departed India in large numbers for foreign shores".
"A byzantine, punitive, and arbitrary tax regime covering both GST and income tax - which amounts to sheer Tax Terrorism -is now the .

The forthcoming Budget needs to focus on domestic drivers like reducing personal income tax and allocating higher capex, to boost growth amid global economic uncertainties, EY's chief policy advisor D K Srivastava has said.
Srivastava, a member of the Advisory Council of the 16th Finance Commission, said since urban consumption is lagging, it is necessary to rationalize the personal income taxes structure, both in terms of rates and deductions such that additional disposable incomes could be put into the hands of lower and middle income class groups.

Srivastava said FY26 Budget should earmark a 20 per cent growth in capex spending over the revised estimates for current fiscal. He projected fiscal deficit at 4.8 per cent of GDP in current fiscal, and 4.4 per .

The Budget 2025-26 should announce a PLI scheme for R&D to attract foreign companies and make India a global hub for innovation, said Deloitte India Partner (Direct Tax) Rohinton Sidhwa.
He said the government has been pursuing a policy wherein tax holidays are less and more focus is on Production Linked Incentive (PLI) or other schemes which promote investment and employment.
"We need to push India as the R&D lab of the world and if there can be such a policy which stimulates that, like PLI for R&D which includes foreign companies, that could be a game changer," Sidhwa told PTI in an interview.
The Budget for 2025-26 will be presented in Parliament on February 1.
Sidhwa said that one area which the government needs to look at is how to stimulate innovation and reward R&D spending and that would happen only when the country is able to attract global R&D centres into India.
"If we can develop our own R&D, we are less reliant on developed world for technology and
