Withdraw decision to revise property tax method: BJP
The Hindu
‘Move will impose a severe burden on people already reeling under pandemic’
Former Visakhapatnam MLA and BJP leader P. Vishnu Kumar Raju demanded that the State government immediately withdraw the decision to revise the method of fixing property tax which he said would impose a severe burden on people. He said that it was very unfortunate that the government took the decision when people were facing problems due to the pandemic. Addressing the media here on Saturday, he strongly condemned the proposal to levy property tax based on the market value of the property. He said that before taking such a decision, the government should have taken the public opinion into consideration. “The YSR Congress Party getting 151 seats in the State is a misfortune for the people of the State. The BJP will launch agitations if the State government fails to withdraw its decision,” he said.
