Congress MLAs representing Hunsur and Varuna Assembly constituencies in Mysuru H.P. Manjunath and Yathindra Siddaramaiah respectively have accused Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa of practising nepotism in the release of funds for developmental works in their respective constituencies. Addressing a press conference in Mysuru, both the Congress MLAs cited instances of the State government approving works allegedly favoured by the Chief Minister’s family members or close relatives while blocking release of funds sought for the overall development of the people in the two MLAs’ constituencies. Mr. Manjunath said the BJP government’s contribution to Hunsur was “zero”. Far from sanctioning funds, the government was even withdrawing the already released funds, bringing developmental works in the constituency to a halt. Works worth more than ₹ 200 crore in 17 departments had been stalled due to non-release of funds, he alleged.More Related News
