Cancellation of illegal site allotments by MDA is victory for our party’s struggle, says BJP spokesperson

The State government's decision to cancel the allotment of 1,100 sites by the Mysuru Development Authority (MDA) has been hailed as a "victory" by the BJP for its long-standing campaign against alleged irregularities in the Authority. BJP spokesperson M.A. Mohan from Mysuru City attributed the win to the party's persistent struggle against these irregularities, which began three years ago when the party contested the erstwhile Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

Mohan also celebrated the surrender of 14 sites allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife, B.M. Parvathi, as another "victory" for the BJP. He argued that these sites, acquired from her late husband's land in Kesare for the development of a residential layout in Devanur Third Stage, should have been allocated in the same layout.

However, they were instead given in the more developed Vijayanagar layout. Mohan accused the State government of attempting to protect former MUDA Commissioner D.B. Natesh, who he claimed was responsible for the site allocations. He pointed out that while Natesh was booked and subsequently arrested, no action has been taken against him.
