Let them arrest me if they have guts, challenges Renukacharya
‘I am ready to violate law’
Bengaluru, November 22: BJP MLA MP Renukacharya said that the “people are not getting sand for construction of Ashraya houses and toilets. Even the government works are not getting sand. So, the state government should take steps to provide sand”.
Speaking at the BJP legislature party office at Vidhana Soudha here on Thursday, he said that “I lift the sand every day. No one has asked me why? I will start fight from Monday along with the people. If they have guts, let them arrest me. After JDS-Congress coalition government came to power, people in Honnali are not getting the sand. More than 6-7 thousand of Ashraya houses are incomplete and people are suffering. After I have become the MLA, I have directed the officers to give one load of tractor sand at Rs 1,800. But the district administration is not taking note of it. Instead of those who transport sand illegally, the police have been booking cases against the people who bring sand on motorbikes”, he alleged.
When he objected against filing cases against people, they said it was law. Hundreds of poor people filled sand with bullock carts as part of their protest, police have booked them too which is not right. District Minister has not spoken to him even for courtesy sake. At least, he has not made any efforts to understand the problem. So, he was ready to violate the law and ask people to revolt, he said.
