Mumbai: Group leader of BJP corporators in BMC Prabhakar Shinde has criticised BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal for misleading the taxpayers of Mumbai City over property tax.

“BMC Commissioner in his budget speech said that there will not be property tax. But later on, during interaction with media persons, he said that BMC is going to increase the rate of property tax. There was no mention of such a proposed increase in the property tax in the budget document,” said Shinde. He further added that BJP will be protesting against this move of Shiv Sena and BMC commissioner.

Rajhans Singh, another BJP leader who recently got elected to the upper house of Maharashtra State Council, said, “BMC had broken the trust of Mumbaikars by making false promise of property tax waiver and then want to increase it.”

He further said that they have floated old schemes but just gave new names to them. One of the schemes which were announced in the budget was Balasaheb Health Scheme is not the new one. It’s the same old scheme which was started two years back as ‘Apli Chikista Yojana’. This time they have just changed the name of the scheme.

“Shiv Sena has looted BMC during COVID period. They are so scared that every day they are getting exposed to some or other scams or corruption cases thus now they have come to know that they are losing the soil beneath them. This time BJP will defeat Shiv Sena in the Corporation election,” said Mr Singh.
