Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 25 (ANI): Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Thursday said that the government would soon release a list of Muda sites illegally allotted by the previous Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government.
Speaking to reporters at Vidhana Soudha, he said, “The media had reported that Muda sites in question were allotted by the BJP two years ago. The BJP could have admitted it during the discussion in the session. They are scared that their misdeeds will come out.”
“We allowed detailed discussions on the Valmiki Development Corporation scam and the BJP leaders raised many issues. But the same BJP did not allow Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah to respond fearing being exposed. But the CM exposed BJP’s scams in writing. The government has ordered an inquiry into all those scams,” he explained.
“The guilty will be punished in the Valmiki Development Corporation case. BJP is now raising a hue and cry about Muda. The Chief Minister has already ordered an investigation, let the Opposition parties provide any documentation they have. There is nothing wrong with the allocation of sites to CM as per the rules. If any irregularity happened, it happened during the BJP’s rule,” he said.
“Investigations are on and we will expose BJP’s scams during the tenure of BS Yediyurappa and Basavaraj Bommai. They are trying to obstruct the functioning of the Assembly, we will expose all their scams,” he added.
Asked about the BJP’s plan to carry out a padayatra from Bengaluru to Mysuru to protest Muda irregularities, he said, “Let them walk to Delhi, we will release the list and expose their scams.”
Asked if the siphoned-off funds in the Bhovi Development Corporation have been recovered, he said, “I am not aware of details of the investigation, I only learnt about it from the media. The BJP has cheated the scheduled castes, tribes and other backward classes. The people have elected us because they could not stand BJP’s corruption.” (ANI)
