Change of status“People from the BJP and the Congress have become khaas aadmi from aam aadmi by extracting money in the name of house tax. They know that this earning will stop and that’s why they are rattled,” Mr. Pandey told the media. He said the AAP had made it clear that Delhi would be the first city with no house tax. Highlighting that it’s well within their constitutional powers to scrap the tax, he said their political opponents were making statements without presenting facts and figures. ‘Permission not needed’Reiterating Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s explanation, Mr. Pandey said for abolishing house tax in Delhi they didn’t need to go to Parliament.
