Samajwadi Party's Aryanagar MLA Amitabh Bajpai l said that this decision was wrong. Now the tax is being charged even for breathing in the open air and going for a walk.
This anti-people resolution was passed even after the opposition of the SP due to the arrogance of the executive committee in the House.

Congress Party's state secretary Vikas Awasthi has also said that he will fight by taking this anti-people issue to the state high command.
