The ruling YSR Congress Party’s Guntur East MLA Md. Mustafa on Tuesday alleged irregularities in certain works worth ₹6 crore related to the renovation of Gandhi Park in the Guntur Municipal Corporation, which, he said, were given on ‘nomination basis in violation of norms’.
In the recently concluded Council meeting also, he raised the issue and demanded that the GMC make all the details related to the works public.
Denying the allegations, Mayor Kavati Manohar Naidu told The Hindu that they had spent a total of ₹4.35 crore on the park development works, out of which only ₹12 lakh worth of works were sanctioned on nomination basis, including four works which were unique in nature.
