DMK Chief Stalin Demands Immediate Rollback of Urban Property Taxes

DMK President and Leader of the Opposition MK Stalin has strongly condemned the current TVK administration over the sudden spike in urban property taxes and civic cesses across municipal corporations. Addressing party functionaries at Anna Arivalayam today, Stalin accused the ruling government of placing an unbearable financial burden on urban middle-class and working-class families already grappling with inflation. The DMK announced plans for statewide demonstrations if the administration fails to roll back the hikes within the week. Political analysts note that as opposition parties ramp up pressure on cost-of-living issues, urban local bodies are quickly becoming the primary battleground for political influence in Tamil Nadu.
