BJP MP Lahar Singh Siroya Questions Congress Leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s Family Over Land Allotment
BJP MP Lahar Singh Siroya has raised concerns about the alleged illegal land allotments to Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge’s family. Siroya claims a local website shows these illegal allotments. He stated, “I have not made any allegations; it is being done by someone else. He has complained to the Governor about illegal allotments of land.”
Siroya mentioned that 5 acres of Aerospace Park have been allotted to Kharge’s family, questioning the legality and moral grounds of this allotment. He added, “There is another question how only his family member is eligible to get the land and no one else…All of this is a matter of investigation.”
Meanwhile, BJP leader Gaurav Bhatia has called for Mallikarjun Kharge’s resignation, stating, “Kharge has moral responsibility and his family has been accused of this scam.” Bhatia also demanded the resignation of Priyank Kharge, Mallikarjun Kharge’s son and Karnataka IT/BT and Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister, for allegedly misusing his post.
In response, Priyank Kharge defended the allotment, saying, “BJP can say what they want. But they have to tell the people how is it illegal and what is illegal. It is a CA (Civic Amenity) site. It is not an industrial plot. It’s an educational thing. The trust has been there for more than 2 decades and has been running educational institutions.”
The allegations against Kharge and his family come amidst the ongoing controversy over a land allotment scam involving Karnataka’s Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has provided sanction to prosecute the CM over the disputed allocation of land under a Mysore Urban Development Authority scheme to his wife.
