Ram Chander Rao said UPI person-to-person transfers carry no charges or tax regardless of the amount; for person-to-merchant payments, he said the Merchant Discount Rate applies only above Rs 2,000 and is capped at 0.04%, with more than 70% of transactions below that threshold.

Rao additionally argued that India’s international standing had been demonstrated by hosting the G20 and BRICS meetings, while claiming that SBI, HAL and LIC had remained financially healthy rather than collapsing as he said Gandhi had predicted.
BJP leaders across India launched a coordinated attack on Congress Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of prioritizing politics over national interests and misleading the public. ANI News reported that BJP President Nitin Nabin claimed Congress practices vote-bank politics, while portraying Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government as focused on direct welfare for poor families and national strength.
The criticism reflects an intensifying political dispute between the two parties. BJP leaders defended India's 7.8% economic growth, India's international standing, and government welfare programs, while dismissing Gandhi's recent statements about UPI charges, the economy, and public-sector companies as misinformation.
Nitin Nabin Launches 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' With Attack on Congress

The event was part of the BJP's month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' campaign marking Prime Minister Modi's 76th birthday. Nabin said Congress practices vote-bank politics rather than serving all citizens equally.
Bommai Invokes 1975 Emergency to Challenge Gandhi's Authority
BJP MP Basavaraj Bommai argued that Gandhi has no moral authority to criticize Modi. Bommai invoked India's 1975 Emergency imposed under Indira Gandhi, using it to challenge Congress's democratic credentials. He defended the Modi government's 7.8% economic growth rate as strong performance amid global challenges.
Bommai broadened his criticism beyond national issues to Karnataka governance. He raised allegations about irregularities in the Karnataka Public Service Commission and claimed improper police officer transfers, targeting both Congress policies and state-level governance disputes.
Telangana BJP Chief Disputes Gandhi's UPI Charges Claim
Telangana BJP chief Ram Chander Rao disputed Gandhi's recent remarks about UPI transaction charges. According to Kashmir Newsline, Rao said person-to-person UPI transfers are completely free, with no charges or taxes regardless of amount. For merchant payments, he said the Merchant Discount Rate applies only above Rs 2,000 and is capped at 0.04%.
Rao cited data showing more than 70% of UPI transactions fall below the Rs 2,000 threshold where charges apply. He also pointed to Gandhi's past positions on the Citizenship Amendment Act, COVID-19 vaccines, the economy, and public-sector companies as examples of misinformation he claims Gandhi has spread.
BJP Claims Strong Economic and International Standing
Rao argued that India's international standing had been strengthened under Modi. He pointed to India hosting the G20 and BRICS meetings as evidence of global recognition. Rao also claimed major state-owned companies like SBI, HAL, and LIC remained financially healthy, contradicting what he said were Gandhi's predictions of their collapse.
