Stalin asks Oppn, allies not to politicise property tax hike

Chief Minister MK Stalin hinted at non-withdrawal of property tax hike by asking the Opposition parties and DMK allies to not indulge in politics in the development of the State.

He appealed to them to set aside their political differences and extend their support to the initiative of the State government.

“We have not increased the property tax willingly and I am admitting it wholeheartedly. There is a compulsion to the government to manage the situation when the civic bodies are not in a position to get funds,” said Stalin, while responding to the calling attention motion introduced by Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami and leaders of DMK allies.
