BJP dares Government to take back all 50:50 MUDA sites

Mysuru: Former MLA and City BJP President L. Nagendra has dared the State Government to exhibit its will by withdrawing all 928 sites allotted under 50:50 scheme by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

Welcoming the decision of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathi to return 14 sites allotted to her by MUDA and the State Government cancelling the allotment of 48 sites at Dattagalli here, Nagendra reminded the Government about the process of allotting sites under the same scheme gaining momentum after the Urban Development Department Secretary wrote to MUDA to stop the allotment of sites in October 2023. Hence all such sites should be withdrawn, demanded Nagendra.
The middlemen have benefited from most of the sites allotted under 50:50 scheme. Interestingly, one Nagaraju has been allotted  site in the dimension of 80,000 square feet, but the land owner was not aware of the same. In its recent letter to Lokayukta, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has underscored the illegal allotment of over 1,000 sites.
The Congress High Command appears lacking in strength to initiate any action against CM Siddaramaiah, said Nagendra.
