EDMC is forcing them to pay tax: AAP
The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday alleged that the BJP-governed East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) is trying to seal temples in Delhi and forcing them to pay property tax.
“It is the first time since the rule of Aurangzeb that someone has dared to seek taxes from temples. The BJP’s lust for money knows no bounds and after looting every citizen of Delhi, the BJP-ruled civic body is trying to extort from the pandit’s dakshina thaali too,” AAP leader Atishi said.
The AAP leader said that till now, the BJP was preying on the money of the common man, but now it seems its “hunger has not been satisfied”.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
