BJP MLAs spend the night in Karnataka Assembly in protest against land scam
The BJP in Karnataka held a "day-and-night" dharna in both the Legislative Assembly and Council over not allowing discussion regarding the alleged fraudulent allotment of sites to land losers by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), which involves plots given to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife. The opposition was not allowed to discuss the issue in both the Houses today. The legislature session is slated to end on Friday. State BJP President and MLA B Y Vijayendra too said both in the Assembly and Council "we will hold overnight protest to ensure that injustice is not meted out to Dalits, sites given to Chief Minister's family are taken back and also over 5,000 sites that were illegally allocated." He accused the Chief Minister of running away from discussion on the MUDA scam by not giving an opportunity to discuss it. "If he had courage he should have told the Speaker to allow for discussion. The Speaker has been misused for not allowing the discussion and the opposition is being suppressed."
