The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao has accused the Congress government of planning to burden Hyderabad-region residents through the proposed CURE Act, claiming it would raise property taxes by at least five per cent and add separate water and sewerage cess.
- He called the tax revision based on registration values 'outright tax extortion' and said the BJP would oppose the legislation in the Assembly, arguing it undermines the 74th Constitutional Amendment and lacks clarity on elected representatives' roles.
- He also criticised the Indiramma Housing Scheme, alleging that collecting a ₹100 application fee and ₹10,000 deposit from lakhs of applicants for only 7,680 flats amounts to exploiting the poor.
- He added that hundreds of houses built under previous governments remain vacant and unallotted.
What to watch next
- The CURE Act's provisions when tabled and debated in the Assembly
- The government's response to allegations over the Indiramma Scheme's application fees and deposits
- Whether vacant houses from previous governments are repaired and allotted to beneficiaries
