Addressing media persons here on Saturday, Shetty said that the government was behaving in an adamant manner on setting up of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

“The ACB will certainly weaken the Lokayukta. Instead of forming the ACB, the government should have strengthened the Lokayukta institution in order to curb corruption,” he said. Blaming the State government for the II?PU question paper fiasco, Shetty said that instead of suspending the officials, the government should have dismissed them to send a strong message against repeat of such incidents.

Accusing the officials of failure to check illegal sand transportation in Dakshina Kannada district, Shetty said though the district administration had banned sand mining, illegal transportation of the construction material was going on unabated.

DK district JD(S) unit President Vittla Mohammed Kunhi said that the government was hell bent on setting up of ACB to shield ministers facing corruption charges.He alleged that the tuition mafia and few private colleges were involved in the II PU question paper leak.

“The Minister for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Ratnakar should tender his resignation. The State government is acting against its own promises made during the election. The power tariff has been revised. With erratic supply of power in rural areas, farmers are finding it difficult to irrigate their farm the district is facing acute shortage of water,” he said.
