Aaditya: BMC to Eventually Burden Citizens with User Fee
A politician named Aaditya says the Mumbai government is going to charge people a fee for waste collection, even though they said they wouldn't right away.
He thinks this fee will help pay for cleaning up a big trash dump.
He also says that the current government is making property taxes higher, which is not fair because another politician reduced them earlier.
This is a disagreement between the government and the politician about how to handle taxes and waste.
Aaditya Thackeray criticizes the BMC for postponing the user fee.
BMC proposed a user fee for solid waste collection.
User fee is intended to make up for the cost of cleaning the Deonar landfill.
Aaditya Thackeray accuses the BJP government of raising property taxes.
Former government cancelled property tax for homes up to 500 sqft.
