TDP leader critical of GMC functioning
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.
