SaralnamaBJP leaders in Moradabad face accusations of mismanaging firecracker market auctions, causing losses to the government treasury. Markets that sold for ₹5 lakh or more last year were auctioned for much less this time. Some markets went for just ₹63,000 or ₹65,000. BJP leaders allegedly managed applicants to keep bids low, barely exceeding the base price of ₹50,000. The Polytechnic Ground market, which they couldn't control, saw its auction cancelled. It was later re-auctioned for ₹65,000, down from ₹8 lakh. To participate in such auctions, citizens can contact their local municipal office for information on upcoming events.
