BJP is politicizing separate state issue: DCM Parameshwar
Bengaluru, August 02: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G Parameshwar said that though the Congress-JDS coalition government was committed to develop the north Karnataka, BJP leaders have been politicizing the separate state issue.
Speaking to reporters at the Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday, the DCM said that “ours is a united Karnataka. No one should speak of dividing the state. But the BJP leaders have been politicizing the issue”, he said.
“All previous governments have contributed for the development of the north Karnataka. This government would not do anything wrong to that region. There was a lot of development from the funds released during the SM Krishna government. This government is also continuing those works. Ours is one language, one land and we are all Kannadigas”, he said.
“We have got the information about illegal migrants. Police have been searching them. Though the VISA period of 107 African students was expired, they are residing here only. The government will take steps to send them. Those who do not have authorized documents will be sent back”.

MUDA case: Karnataka HC adjourns hearing till Dec 10
Bengaluru: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday adjourned till December 10 the hearing on the plea seeking transfer of the investigation into the MUDA site allotment scam to the CBI. The plea was filed by activist Snehamayi Krishna doubting the credibility of Lokayukta investigation into the matter.
The petitioner told PTI that he approached the HC saying he has no faith in the Lokayukta police and hence the case should be handed over to the CBI.
In the MUDA case, it is alleged that compensatory sites were allotted to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where it developed a residential layout.
Under the controversial scheme, MUDA allotted 50 per cent of developed land to the land losers in lieu of undeveloped land acquired from them for forming residential layouts. It is alleged that Parvathi had no legal title over this 3.16 acres of land at survey number 464 of Kasare village, Kasaba hobli of Mysuru taluk.
The Karnataka Lokayukta police and the Enforcement Directorate have launched an investigation into the 'scam'.
The CM has denied any wrongdoing in the alleged scam.
