PCC chief accuses government of showing favouritism in allocation of shops
Member of Parliament and president of Pradesh Congress Committee V. Vaithilingam has accused the AINRC-BJP government of bias in allotment of shops in the new complex constructed at Anna Thidal under the Smart City project. Speaking at the PCC office after inducting traders into the party, Mr. Vaithilingam said the government was functioning against the general interests of the trading community. Traders associated with the ruling establishment have alone benefitted, he said. 'While shops at the new bus stand have not been allotted even after commencement of bus services from the complex, shops at Anna Thidal are being allotted to people close to the ruling party even before the facility is inaugurated,' he said. Former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy and several other Congress leaders attended the event.
