AIADMK alleges partiality in tender process in allotting shops Dindigul

Former Minister Dindigul C. Srinivasan said no advertisements had been issued for the public auction; party functionaries staged a sit-in protest at the Dindigul Corporation

Former Minister and AIADMK MLA, Dindigul C. Srinivasan, alleged on Friday, that the Dindigul Corporation officials were not transparent and fair in the auction process for shops at Gandhi Market and Kamarajar Bus Stand.

Speaking to reporters, he said that the civic authorities had not issued advertisements in leading dailies, a mandatory requirement for public auctioning. The objective was to give wide publicity and thereby earn high revenue through the highest bidder for the Corporation. However, the authorities were hand-in-glove with DMK functionaries and were planning to allocate the shops to those identified by them, he said.
