Addressing media persons in the city the former union minister said that he demanded the Karnataka government to set up a Commission of Inquiry under the leadership of a a Supreme Court judge to unearth the misappropriations in the implementation of the project.

"Prima facie, it seems that officials involved in the implementation of Yettinahole project have committed various offences that come under IPC sections 463 (forgery), 464 (making false document), 468 (Forgery for purpose of cheating) and 420 (cheating)," Mr Poojary said.

"Let chief minister Siddaramaiah order a Commission of Inquiry to bring the truth to light. Let the people of Karnataka know all types of misappropriations that have taken place in implementing Yettinahole project. All officials and political leaders, who are involved in the misappropriation, should be brought before the law. Former chief ministers, who have taken initiative to implement the project, also should be brought under the purview of Commission of Inquiry," Poojary said.

Questioning the process in which the detailed project report (DPR) was prepared, he said, "They claim in DPR that project is aimed at lifting 24tmc of water from Yettinahole. Let them provide information on place and method of measurement used to calculate the water availability in Yettinahole project. Officials and political leaders have been misleading people and CM too. False documents have been prepared to get clearances for the project," Poojary alleged.
