The recent demolition of an illegally constructed YCP central office near Tadepalli has brought to light a series of allegations regarding similar constructions in district headquarters across the state. They carried out these constructions without proper permissions and in violation of regulations, raising concerns about the involvement of ‘quid pro quo’ behind the scenes.
The ownership of the demolished building near Tadepalli is a key point of contention. The Mangalagiri-Tadepalli Municipal Corporation’s inspection report reportedly attributes this building to Ramky Infrastructures. This raises questions about why they were constructing a building owned by Ramky Infrastructures in the name of the YCP office. Speculations have emerged regarding the possibility of the YCP selling or sub-leasing the property to Ramky, or if there exists a construction contract between the two parties.
Furthermore, people have noted that Ramky Group is allegedly constructing many YCP offices in the state without any official record of contract awards. This has led to suspicions of ‘quid pro quo’ arrangements in exchange for benefits received from the government. The involvement of YCP Rajya Sabha member Ayodhya Ramireddy, who owns the Ramky group, adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
People are questioning why a ruling party with significant reserve funds is unable to construct its own office buildings and instead relies on a private company like Ramky. The lack of transparency in disclosing the assets acquired through government leases for construction purposes further fuels these concerns. Despite having valuable government sites on lease, the YCP has not provided details of these assets in its income tax returns, raising doubts about the source of funds and expenditures related to these constructions.
In conclusion, the ongoing controversy surrounding the construction of YCP offices by Ramky Group highlights the need for transparency, accountability, and adherence to regulations in such projects. The allegations of irregularities and ‘quid pro quo’ must be thoroughly investigated to ensure integrity and ethical practices in governance.
