Collector Rate Hike: BJP Govt Accused of Favouring Builders, Burdening Middle Class
Congress leader Randeep Surjewala on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the BJP government over the recent hikes in collector rates. He described the increases, implemented twice within eight months, as arbitrary and lacking transparency.
Surjewala alleged a complete absence of public consultation before these significant revisions. He argued the hikes disproportionately benefit real estate developers while placing an undue burden on the middle class.
The Congress leader termed the government’s actions as a clear case of economic mismanagement. He demanded immediate rollback of the hikes and a transparent process for future revisions.
This latest controversy comes amidst growing concerns about affordability in the housing sector. The impact of these hikes on homebuyers and the broader economy warrants serious attention from policymakers.
