Karnataka Industries Minister criticises opposition leader over land allotment controversy
New Indian ExpressBENGALURU: Industries Minister MB Patil on Thursday criticised Leader of Opposition in the Council, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, who questioned the state government’s decision to allot a 5-acre CA site at the aerospace park to a trust consisting of AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and his sons Priyank and Rahul. Hitting out at Chalavadi, Patil said he had acquired a 2-acre KIADB plot in the Hebbal Industrial Area of Mysuru, 18 years ago, but has failed to establish any industrial unit there. He also criticised the allotment of 5 acres of land to Rashtrothana Parishat in the Hi-Tech Defence Aerospace Park in 2013, which was intended for a multi-utility commercial complex. Patil said Chanakya University was also allotted 116 acres in the Devanahalli Industrial Area, resulting in a loss of Rs 137 crore to the state exchequer.
