BJP lying to people of Delhi by saying MCD reduced house tax, licence fees: Saurabh Bhardwaj

Bhardwaj asked Delhi BJP President Adesh Gupta why he was putting up posters to congratulate himself for reducing taxes in Delhi when “in reality the taxes have not been rolled back”.

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj on Thursday alleged that the BJP is lying to the people of Delhi by saying MCD has reduced house tax, and several licence fees. He said they haven’t done it.

AAP’s NDMC Leader of Opposition had written to the NDMC Commissioner seeking accountability of the BJP’s claims, who in turn refuted all the claims saying nothing as such has been implemented, Bhardwaj said.

Bhardwaj said that the BJP-ruled MCD is functioning like a Khap Panchayat and is selling lies to people. He said, “BJP increased several licence fees by 17-25 times last year and is now putting up posters saying they’ve reduced them, when they have actually done nothing.”
