The plea asks the Kerala CM to take up the issue with the Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, states the report. Oommen Chandy told Bangalore Mirror, "Rules in Karnataka state that whoever uses the vehicle for over 30 days has to pay lifetime tax there. Sadly, some are harassing people visiting the city. There are reports of people being told to pay lifetime tax while on a day's visit to the state with family members."
