They want the Minister to be sacked
Opposition Congress members commenced a dharna in the well of the House on December 17 demanding sacking of Urban Development Minister Bhyrati Basavaraj and a discussion on the FIR filed against him and BJP MLC R. Shankar on the direction of a court in connection with allegations of land-grabbing.
The Congress had sought to discuss the issue in the form of an adjournment motion that has a censuring clause. However, Speaker Vishveshwar Hegde Kageri did not permit them to raise the issue on the ground that the matter is sub-judice.
The All-India level NEET examination was started a few years ago to counter complaints of corruption during the joint entrance examinations held at the State level. AIDSO had warned the authorities that the solution to the menace of corruption was not changing the examination system, but to investigate the corruption and punish the guilty.
