The opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), have vehemently opposed the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC)‘s plan to enter into a Private Public Partnership (PPP) agreement with a private agency to develop Gandhi Hill here.
The corporation placed the proposal before the VMC General Body for its approval, on Tuesday.
The opposition parties asserted that the land belongs to the Delhi-based Gandhi Smaraka Samithi, and the VMC has no locus standi to make an agreement. The issue led to animated discussions and high-pitched arguments between the members of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and the opposition parties.
