An office of a BJP MLA in Vadodara’s Alkapuri area was sealed over a dispute relating to  outstanding property tax.

The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) sealed the Vasant Kutir Development Company located at Offtel Tower in Alkapuri over outstanding dues of ₹7.12 crore for offices rented to various companies and ₹5.55 lakh for two offices of the owner.

There is a dispute going on between the company and the corporation regarding the recovery of outstanding dues.
