BJP govt had ordered CID probe into denotification: Congress

The Congress on Monday claimed that the then BJP government led by D V Sadananda Gowda had ordered a CID probe into the charges of denotification of lands meant for forming Shivaram Karanth Layout in Bengaluru by B S Yeddyurappa.

“The BJP has charged the Congress government with indulging in vendetta politics. But, the then BJP government had ordered a probe into the issue. Who is indulging in vendetta politics?” Congress MLC V S Ugrappa asked at a press conference here. The MLC also released a copy of the order signed by Gowda in 2012.

Ugrappa also claimed that Gowda had stated in the Assembly that he will order a CID probe and even directed the Urban Development department to take appropriate steps in this regard.
