During the last four years, the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) allocated more than ₹569 crore for 3,009 works in the city, covering Guntur East, Guntur West and Prathipadu (SC) Assembly constituencies, said Mayor Kavati Manohar Naidu.

He told the media here on Tuesday that 1,076 works were sanctioned with an outlay of ₹205 crore in Guntur East, represented by YSRCP MLA Md. Mustafa. About 1,165 works worth ₹241 crore were approved for Guntur West, represented by TDP MLA Maddali Giri, who later shifted his loyalty to the ruling YSRCP, and, 768 works estimated to cost ₹122 crore were sanctioned for Prathipadu, represented by former Home Minister Mekathoti Sucharitha. 

He detailed the year-wise allocation of budget and the works sanctioned till date, starting from 2019-20 financial year.

Mr. Naidu’s press conference gained significance amidst allegations from YSRCP and TDP leaders that the GMC did not undertake any development works in the city.
