Summary:
Former councillors and candidates of opposition parties claim that this was being done by the Congress to take political mileage in view of the forthcoming MC elections. They said Rs25-crore funds which the Cabinet Minister claims to have brought from GMADA were actually held back by the estate agency. He said the MC had spent the amount anticipating that the funds would be released by the agency. As a result development works hit the roadblock. He said had the minister brought over Rs100-crore funds then he could take the claim of bringing funds for development works..
