Land rates enhanced after acquiring them from farmers: TPCC leader

Hiked registration charges should be withdrawn immediately: Mahesh Goud

TPCC working president Mahesh Kumar Goud has questioned the rationale behind increasing the registration charges after enhancing the land value for mopping up resources. At a press conference here on Wednesday, he said that when the government is getting huge resources through enhancement of land value, what is the need for increasing the registration charges, putting a burden on the poor and middle class. He demanded that the hiked registration charges be withdrawn immediately. Mr. Goud saw a conspiracy behind not increasing the land value rates over the last few years and increasing them now, though it had the option of enhancing the same every year. He said government refrained from increasing the prices with an eye to procure lands from the poor at a cheaper rate for the projects.
