BJP-JD(S) to take out seven-day padayatra against alleged irregularities in Valmiki development corporation and MUDA from August 3

The Hindu  

The NDA allies BJP and Janata Dal will take out a seven-day padayatra from Bengaluru to Mysuru from August 3 against the alleged irregularities in site distribution by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority, financial irregularities in the Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, and diversion of funds meant for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The padayatra will culminate with a public rally in Mysuru on August 10 in which BJP’s central leaders will also take part. The decision and modalities of padayatra came after a coordination committee meeting between leaders of two parties in which Mr. Kumaraswamy and his ministerial colleague Pralhad Joshi, among others, were present. The ruling and Opposition parties had clashed over the same issues during the just-concluded monsoon session of the State legislature where the BJP-JD was denied permission to raise the alleged irregularities in MUDA, triggering a night-long dharna in the legislature by the Opposition legislators.
