Jana Sena Leader Alleges Rs 100-Crore GVMC Tax Scam
A leader from the Jana Sena party has accused officials of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) and the family of a former minister of cheating the government out of Rs 100 crore.
He says they gave unfair tax breaks to a company building houses on government land.
The leader claims that the officials delayed tax collections, gave unfair exemptions, and split the land to hide debts.
He also says that the company started building houses without proper permission, which is against the law.
He wants the government to cancel the land deal, collect the unpaid taxes, and investigate the matter.
Jana Sena leader Pithala Murthy Yadav alleges a Rs 100-crore tax concession scam involving GVMC officials and the family of former YSRC minister Kottu Satyanarayana.
Allegations include delayed tax assessments, exemptions for three half-year periods, and splitting land to conceal arrears.
The complaint claims a reduction in land market value by Rs 107 crore and an annual tax loss of Rs 2 crore.
Outstanding dues are alleged to have mounted to nearly Rs 39 crore.
The leader seeks cancellation of the land allotment, recovery of pending taxes, and a comprehensive inquiry into the alleged irregularities.
