Udit Raj accuses government of double taxing citizens with UPI surcharge

Udit Raj highlighted that the Centre is already extracting significant revenue through excise duties on petrol and diesel as well as GST. Adding an MDR on UPI transactions above ₹2,000, he said, creates a double‑tax scenario that hurts ordinary users. Raj also criticized the Election Commission, claiming it functions as a BJP‑friendly body that suppresses democratic voices.
