Alleging that many projects worth over Rs. 6 crore allocated from MLA constituency development fund were kept in abeyance by the Chennai Corporation authorities, DMK Treasurer and Kolathur constituency legislator Thalapathi M.K.Stalin said that the Mayor was toeing the line of Chief Minister Jayalalitha in making empty announcements and duping the people which could be termed as ‘420’ (penal code section for fraud).
Stalin inaugurated welfare projects worth Rs.1.05 crore allocated from his constituency development fund on Aug 11. Later he told reporters that three Anganwadi/nutritious meal centres were opened and Jet rodding machine and desilting machines were acquired for use by CMWSSB for clearing blocks in sewerage pipes. He gave details of other expenses for projects and works undertaken in the constituency. Though Rs. 6 crore was allotted under the fund in the last three years, works worth Rs,4.74 crore were kept in abeyance by the authorities.
On learning about the purpose of his visit, the Mayor has conducted a funny event in the name of consultation meeting. When he was the Mayor during DMK rule a subway to link Villivakkam and Kolathur was constructed at a cost of Rs.36 crore which was inaugurated by Jayalalitha two years back. Another level crossing subway was planned during DMK rule and the constuction work was held up due to the above subway works. But even after three years of assuming corporation administration they did not take any action and now the Mayor has announced that study has been undertaken.
In the last three years no flyover or subway was constructed in Chennai and just like Jayalalitha the present Mayor was also issuing empty announcements. Following her continuing to release over a hundred announcements under rule110 in the Assembly and stopping with it, the mayor issuing empty announcements and duping the people could be termed as’420.
Neither the regime not the corporation administration took up any work. With a scheme they were not utilising MLA constituency development fund about which also we could not raise in the Assembly and hence we are contemplating about taking the issue to the court. Very soon we would take action for that, Stalin said.
Former Mayor M.Subaramanian, district DMK in-charge R.D.Sekhar, ex-MLAs P.Ranganathan and P.K.Sekarbabu and other DMK functionaries participated.
