‘Hand over ‘Muda scam’ to CBI’, demands Chalavadi Narayanaswamy
Bengaluru: Legislative Council Opposition leader Chalavadi Narayanaswamy stated that the MUDA site allotment scam must be given over to a CBI investigation. Only this could bring out the real facts, he said. He was speaking to the press people at Jagannatha Bhavana, BJP state office, in Bengaluru on Friday.
Alleging that attempts were afoot to bury the MUDA case without allowing a CBI investigation, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy said that the Congress should have celebrated the Valmiki Jayanti as a day of repentance, if it had any humanity. "The CM must immediately resign and all those who loaded the all the MUDA files onto a helicopter must also be investigated", he added.
The BJP leader alleged that corruption had stopped being an offence to the CM and Congress party. "The Congress government has appointed a wolf to guard the sheep. Despite heavy corruption taking place, those who come out of jail are in a jubilant mood. Valmiki Jayanti only happened yesterday. I felt ashamed when Siddaramaiah was celebrating it. How right is it for the people who gulped down the Valmiki Corporation to celebrate Valmiki Jayanti?" he questioned.
Referring to ED raid on MUDA office, taluk office and the house of the land owner Devaraju, Narayanaswamy said that this happened because the investigative agency's repeated request for MUDA files had been rejected. He alleged that the government wanted to bury the facts of the case and the MUDA sites were 'unnecessarily' returned. "President Marigowda has been removed. Officers there have been shifted to different departments. All this points at the fact that a huge corruption had happened there", he said.

We received request; will decide soon whether to support TVK: Thirumavalavan
Chennai (PTI): VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday said that his party received a request from TVK for support and the high-level committee of his party will decide whether to support the Vijay-led party to form the government.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly and emerged as the single largest party. Vijay will have to resign from one of the two constituencies he has won.
Though the Congress party, which has five MLAs, has extended support to TVK, the actor-politician-led party was still short of as many seats to touch the magic number of 118, the majority mark in the 234-member House.
"We received the request letter from TVK. We are thankful for that. We have not ignored his (Vijay's) request. We have a procedure. Therefore, our party's high-level committee will decide soon. We are going to discuss the merits and demerits of our position," the VCK leader told reporters here.
With regard to the delay in the governor's call to the TVK, which is the single largest party, to form the government, Thirumavalavan requested the governor to invite Vijay to form the government. "It is a constitutional right and people's verdict," he added.
Asserting that the governor cannot say that Vijay should hold 118 MLAs' support now itself to form the government, he said that after taking over power, Vijay has to prove an absolute majority only on the floor of the Assembly.
