Is the Corporation being used to settle political scores?
The Chennai Corporation's decision to issue a demolition notice for AIADMK MLA Saidai Doraisami's marriage hall in Velachery recently has raised concerns about whether the civic agency is being used to settle political scores.
Questions have been raised over the manner in which the episode was played out: Why should the Deputy Mayor call for a press conference a day ahead of the inauguration of the marriage hall to announce the deviations in the construction? Why should the Chennai Corporation issue a press release regarding the demolition order when they don't normally do so for other such notices issued by them? Will the civic agency release a list of all building deviations in the city?
This is not the first time the civic agency is suspected of making politically motivated moves. During the previous AIADMK regime, some councillors instigated official actions against Anna Arivalayam, the DMK headquarters, and also the residence of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi over alleged violations.
