Chandigarh, April 15, 2025:-The Chandigarh Congress has announced a comprehensive and aggressive campaign against the unjustified and steep hike in property tax imposed by the BJP-led Municipal Corporation. The protest, to be carried out across every sector, colony, and village of Chandigarh, will be aimed at exposing the anti-people policies of the BJP and forcing the rollback of this draconian decision.
Chandigarh Pradesh Congress President Harmohinder Singh Lucky strongly criticized the BJP accusing it of deliberately burdening the residents of Chandigarh through back-to-back decisions that have directly affected the financial well-being of common citizens. He said that the BJP has made it a habit of squeezing the pockets of the people. Whether it is by increasing the collector rates, levying a 5% water cess, or now, by tripling the property tax — they are showing complete disregard for the struggles of ordinary families.
He highlighted that this is not an isolated act, but part of a pattern of failures and neglect. Despite being in power in the Municipal Corporation for years and having the same party in power at the Centre, the BJP has completely failed to secure adequate financial support or grant-in-aid from the administration for the city's development.
