The New Indian Express Chennai
|August 24, 2025
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami on Saturday accused the DMK government of burdening Tiruchy residents with steep tax hikes and pledged a revival of welfare schemes if his party returns to power.
Addressing a campaign meeting under 'Makkalai Kaapom, Tamilagam Meetpom' in the city, EPS said AIADMK had allocated ₹1,000 crore for Smart City projects in Tiruchy during its tenure, while the DMK regime had undone the progress with 'punitive taxes'. He charged that electricity tariffs were raised by 67% and property and water taxes were by up to 150%, besides introducing a garbage levy.
