Why Mr. CM Parrkar fulfill promises given to the goans
that house tax will be waived. Where is Panchyat Minister
gone sleep. Some salcete panchayat not accept checks
only cash. One can realize this how panchayat and
government fooling of goans. I am surprised why we pay
House Tax above that they also charged Electricity tax.
Our own property and own house why we pay these
tax. Pancyahat collect alongwith house Elect tax and then
again pay elect tax. Our own house and property why we
we pay this bloody tax.
