Land scam and allotment of de-notified land rocks Karnataka politics; Opposition seeks CM's resignation

Land scam and allotment of de-notified land to kith and kin of politicians are rocking Karnataka politics. Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa has again said that he is prepared to institute an enquiry against allotment of de-notified land during the last 10 years by a retired Supreme Court Judge. Speaking to the media persons in Mangalore today, Chief Minister defended his action of de-notifying land and said these were done in accordance with the norms. The Opposition leaders, who were charged by the Chief Minister of grabbing land after de-notification during their tenure, have refuted the allegation and asked Chief Minister to go ahead with the inquiry by a retired Supreme Court Judge. They have also sought Yeddyurappa’s resignation on moral ground for favoring his family and cabinet colleagues through allotment of de-notified land. The President of the Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee, G. Parameshwar said, it is high time that Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa resigns given the number of scams and other irregularities he and several Ministers of his Council are involved in.
