Despite members cutting across party lines demanding a House committee to probe irregularities in the allotment of two high-value industrial plots to companies that have transferred them to another, the State Government refused to yield, and instead announced an investigation into it.
Raising the issue in the Legislative Council on Wednesday, Janata Dal (Secular) member Marithibbe Gowda alleged financial irregularities in the transfer of 78 acres in Kadugodi near Whitefield by Concord India that had been allotted the plot at a cost of ₹39 crore.
He said originally the land had been allotted to Concord India in 1972, which was re-allotted to the same company in 2007. After overcoming legal hurdles, it wanted to transfer the land to Embassy East Business Park in 2020, he added.
