Bengaluru. Union Minister and Janata Dal (S) leader HD Kumaraswamy has made serious allegations against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. He has built a house for himself on the land allotted for a physically handicapped Dalit. Siddaramaiah did this when he was the Deputy Chief Minister of the state. This allegation has been made. 

He said that this is not the only case of land scam by Siddaramaiah in Mysore, there are many such irregularities committed by Siddaramaiah, they should be investigated. Kumaraswamy said, "What Siddaramaiah has done with the farmers of Mysore should also be investigated. The case of irregularities in the land allotted to the Dalit is one of those 14 cases of land plots on which the Siddaramaiah family is suspected of committing a scam." The Union Minister alleged that Siddaramaiah's wife has built a house on the Dalit's land by illegally occupying it. 

Land acquired through fake documents

Speaking to reporters, Kumaraswamy said, "A helpless Dalit named Sakamma paid Rs 24,000 to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) for a plot of land, but Siddaramaiah got fake documents prepared in Sakamma's name and took over the 10,000 sq. ft. land allotted to her and built his own house on it. Through fake documents, this land was transferred to Siddaramaiah's wife's name."

Siddaramaiah should tell where he got the land from: Kumaraswamy

Kumaraswamy said, "Siddaramaiah, who describes his life as an open book, should tell from whom he bought that land." Let us tell you that Siddaramaiah served as Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka from 1996 to 1999 and from 2004 to 2005.
