Addressing a public meeting at Addanki on Sunday night as part of his ‘Yuva Galam‘ padayatra, Mr. Lokesh said that there has been no asset creation in the State. “After giving ₹10 by implementing a miniscule number of welfare schemes, he has collected 10 times more from the public through a heavy taxation regime. Going by this trend, even the air that people breathe will be taxed,” he quipped.
