TDP leader critical of GMC functioning

Staff Reporter 

TDP urban president B. Srinivas Yadav has said Guntur Municipal Corporation is mired in corruption as there was no monitoring. It has no council that would check irregularities, he told media persons here on Wednesday. Elections to the council are pending for nearly two and a half years as the government feared defeat. As a consequence, there was no check on corruption. Drinking water supply and sanitation were pathetic. Similarly, other civic infrastructure is in bad shape.

Party leader K. Koteswara Rao demanded that the VAT imposed on textiles should be scrapped as it entailed a huge burden to the traders.

The Congress government has completely neglected the well-being of the textile trading community and all other sections of society.

TDP leaders Veeranjaneyulu, Ch. Chittibabu, M. Murali, S. Veeraiah, M. Raghu and D. Ramesh were present.
