The Opposition Congress at the Ahmedabad
Municipal Corporation has slammed BJP for alleged irregularities in
the accounts departments. Congress leader Badruddin Shaikh in a statement
on Wednesday said nothing was being done for recovery of “cheques
worth Rs 49 crore paid to the civic body being bounced”. He also pointed
out at creation of “fictitious income” by the AMC through showing
over-valuation of properties while giving figures of income from sale
of municipal lands. Meanwhile, in a memorandum given to the Jamalpur
zonal officer of Food and Civil Supplies Department, the Opposition
party complained of leakages in the public distribution system whereby
“10 per cent of grains and 15 per cent of kerosene make their way
to open market” every month in the area.
