CM built commercial complex on public road, alleges Vijay Kumar Shetty

March 14, 2012

Mangalore, March 14: Chief Minister DV Sadananda Gowda has built a commercial complex occupying part of a public road, alleged Vijay Kumar Shetty, Former MLA and Congressman.

Addressing media persons in a press meet in Kottara Chowki, Mangalore, on Wednesday, Mr. Shetty, backed by a few locals, said that Mr. Gowda has allegedly built a complex on land that was being used by the local people there as a road. He also said that the road even features in the proposed plan of CDP as a public road and hence, CDP too is guilty of keeping its eyes shut. “If there is any doubt in our allegations, let a third party engineer carry out a survey. You will find that violation has taken place”, he said.

He also informed that after accumulating some more documents, a complaint would be filed with the Lokayukta.

Ajit Kumar, Former Mayor, said that the Mangalore City Corporation has been asking people to get rid of the cement bars used as shades in houses if they appear to have come out of the land's prescribed limit. “But in Mr. Gowda's building, there is a huge deviation and encroachment. The MCC gave the project license. But in the completion certificate, there is no mention of this deviation”, he said.

When asked as to what he thinks about the Congress leader Ms. Margaret Alva's denial to give land for road widening in Balmatta area, Mr. Shetty said “If we speak about it now, this case will become weak”.

Bengaluru, Mar 7: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the Upper Krishna Project (UKP) will be completed within the next three years.

Speaking in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said: "After discussing with the officials of the finance department, we have decided to allocate Rs 10,000 crore funds for the third phase of UKP. This project will be completed within a span of three years."

Yediyurappa also said that the government will hold talks for additional funds from the Central government.

The leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah, interrupted and said that the CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs from north Karnataka.

"The government could have announced it in the budget itself or else the Chief Minister could have announced it at the time of discussion on the budget. Where are the funds with the government to complete the project? CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs who hail from north Karnataka," said Siddaramaiah.

Deputy Chief Minister Govinda Karajol while speaking to the media welcomed the Chief Minister's statement and said that the earlier government didn't allocate a single penny in the last seven years he added.
