BJP Opposes Bengaluru Garbage Fee, Submits Petition
The BJP, a political party, has asked the city government in Bengaluru to stop charging people extra money for garbage collection.
They gave a formal letter to the city's leader.
They believe that people are already paying a garbage fee, so adding another fee is unfair.
The BJP says this extra charge will make it more expensive for people to rent houses and for businesses like hotels and schools.
They want the government to reconsider this decision and either collect the fee or the tax, but not both.
BJP submitted a petition to the BBMP chief commissioner.
The petition seeks withdrawal of the user fee for garbage disposal.
R. Ashok spoke to the media after the petition submission.
Ashok argued against the user fee in addition to the garbage cess.
He stated the fee would increase costs for various establishments.
