Congress's UPI Hypocrisy Exposed: Party Attacks MDR After Its Own MPs Recommended It |The Hard Facts

The political showdown over digital payments has intensified as the Congress party faces sharp criticism for calling the new 0.4% Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) a "Modi tax" and demanding an immediate rollback.
