Mamdani accused of showing in front of camera

Mamdani said- billionaires increase inequality
Earlier on Sunday, Mamdani was surrounded by controversies due to one of her statements. He had said in an interview- Billions of billionaires increase inequality, no one should be allowed to be a billionaire in the world.
In the show ‘Meat the Press’ of NBC News, Mamdani said, “We should not have a billionaire. So much money is not good in the time of inequality. We need equality in the city, state and country.”
Mamdani said that he wants to increase tax on the richest people and big companies in New York. He said, “I want to increase 1% tax on the richest people so that everyone’s life is better, including tax payers.”
At the same time, Mamdani was called a communist by President Donald Trump, which was denied by Mamdani. He said, “I am not a communist. Trump talks on my looks, voice and identity so that I divert attention from my work. I am fighting for the working people whom Trump cheated.”
