Sagar MLA Belur Gopala Krishna and former MLC Ayanur Manjunath have accused the BJP of allotting land, in excess of its requirement to a textile firm in Sagar. Both the Congress leaders alleged that BJP leaders in Shivamogga were silent partners in the industry.
Mr. Gopala Krishna, speaking to presspersons in Shivamogga on Friday, said the previous BJP government allotted 230 acres of land to Shahi Exports, a textile firm, in Shivamogga. “The firm did not require so much land. They hardly required a few acres. The government allotted excess land as influential BJP leaders in Shivamogga are partners in the industry,” he alleged.
