Karawar, Jun 15: Expressing dismay over the State BJP leaders stand on the grant of land to the Jindal Steels, Karnataka Revenue minister R V Deshpande said that it was the decision of the the then BJP government to grant land on lease to the JSW when it was in power.

Speaking to newsmen the minister, has wondered why the BJP is staging dharna on the issue, when the JD(S)-Congress coalition government had granted the land to JSW higher than the price, per acre, earlier fixed by the BJP government headed by B S Yeddyurappa as chief minister.

Opining that the BJP leaders holding protest against the State Government is totally unwarranted, the revenue minister reminded that “Jindal had made a huge investment in Ballary district, the most backward region in the state, and had also generated more jobs”.

Bengaluru, May 2: Former chief minister and Congress leader Siddaramaiah have urged the state government to arrange free-transport facilities to those stranded labourers and their family members to return their native places.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the former chief minister criticised the State Government for having decided to collect bur fare from them, ''three-times more than the regular fare''.

Stating that the migrant labourers, who had been stranded ever since lockdown had been clamped in the entire country are not in a position to pay for their travel, Siddaramaiah urged the state government to treat them with human face.
