I want to tell them that for the first time tax has been imposed on property profiteers, more tax was to be collected from them, next year the tax of real estate sector will be increased.
He said that the real estate sector is making profit by keeping the land and is making speculations. The prices of the land are doubling and tripling.
The Prime Minister said that the price of electricity has been revised, when the prices of the so-called protected consumers increased, there were protests across the country.
