Speaking to the media, state BJP leader R Ashoka alleged that, Siddaramaiah was working on behest of some real estate tycoons and hence cleared the file of 2.39 acres real estate project which was planned for public affairs. The former minister also presented the supporting documents where he noted that the Urban Development Department had already passed an order for the conversion of land.
Recalling the stint of BJP leader and former Chief Jagadish Shettar, Ashoka mentioned that the former Chief Minister had turned down the proposal of multi-crore realty project. The former deputy chief minister dared Siddaramaiah to come clean and de-notify the proposed project.
