"This is quite expected as this government was already bankrupt and now trying to rob people of the state by imposing taxes by deceit after presenting a tax-free budget in the assembly," Singh said reacting to the hike in VAT, infrastructure cess, tax imposed on all the properties and other taxes.
Imposing punitive taxes is no solution to revive economy of the state, he said. The government should rather boost the confidence of the investors who can invest and generate jobs.
