However, BJP youth office-bearers adopted a strategy to allow others to set up illegal stalls on the land and rent them out for profit. Advertisements have also been placed at the location, stating that stalls are available for rent. Reports suggest that BJP office-bearers in the civic body have been facilitating the illegal setup of these stalls through their recommendations.On January 16, 2025, a meeting of the Standing Committee was held. A proposal was approved under an urgent agenda to lease out a 5,000-square-metre area of Final Plot No. 66 of TP Scheme No. 32 in the Gota ward for six months at a token rent of ₹1,000 per day, including municipal taxes.However, the BJP youth wing’s office-bearers have allegedly partnered with the worker to obtain the plot and rapidly set up stalls using iron barricades. Despite the structures being installed on the leased municipal plot, the municipal authorities have only issued notices rather than taking concrete action.The total municipal plot near Gota Bridge covers more than 24,000 sqm. In the leased area, stalls have been built using iron angles, bricks, and cement.Contrary to the resolution passed by the Standing Committee, the space has been turned into a marketplace where household items, children’s and women’s clothing, and other goods are being sold in rented stalls. Moreover, food stalls have been set up. Despite this situation, AMC has only issued notices and no further action has been taken.The proposal to lease part of the municipal plot near Gota Bridge for ₹1,000 per day was approved in the Standing Committee after a BJP office-bearer recommended it. It is being reported that apart from BJP workers, two to three BJP youth office-bearers are involved in establishing a market in this space through partnerships.Also read:<a href="https://english.gujaratsamachar.com/news/gujarat/land-grabbing-case-absconding-accused-dhawal-barot-nabbed" target="_blank">Land grabbing case: Absconding accused Dhaval Barot nabbed</a>
