Haryana Collector Rate Hike Sparks Political Firestorm
The recent hike in Haryana’s collector rates has ignited a fierce political battle, with the opposition vehemently criticizing the government’s decision. Prominent Congress leaders Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Randeep Singh Surjewala have led the charge, calling the increases “unprecedented” and detrimental to homeowners.
They argue the steep rise will disproportionately impact ordinary citizens, significantly increasing property-related costs. The opposition alleges the government acted without adequate public consultation, further fueling the controversy.
The Haryana government, however, maintains the revision is justified. Officials claim the new rates reflect current market realities and are based on thorough data analysis. They insist the move is aimed at aligning collector rates with prevailing market values.
This clash underscores the significant implications of property valuation policies on the common man. The debate is likely to intensify as the state heads towards crucial upcoming elections, with the collector rate hike becoming a major political flashpoint.
