Opposition Walks Out of Kerala Assembly Over Toll Charges on KIIFB-Funded Roads
Responding to the adjournment motion, Finance Minister K N Balagopal clarified that the KIIFB had not made any decision on toll collection for roads, urging that there was no need to panic among the public. He stated, “There’s no reason to generate concern regarding tolls.”
The finance minister noted that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) already collects tolls on its projects within the state, which many perceive as a hint that the government may follow suit with KIIFB projects. He also mentioned that more revenue-generating initiatives would be undertaken via the KIIFB.
Leader of the Opposition VD Satheesan criticized the government, claiming it was attempting to impose a “triple tax” on citizens. He pointed out that the government is already collecting motor vehicle tax and has implemented a fuel cess, implying that adding tolls would burden the populace further. Satheesan also condemned the government’s decision to cut its plan funds by nearly 50% to repay KIIFB loans, warning that continued disregard for the issue could lead the state into a debt trap.
After the finance minister’s response, Speaker A N Shamseer denied the request for the adjournment motion, prompting the Opposition to walk out of the Assembly.
