This reflects ongoing political friction and corruption allegations regarding urban land management in Karnataka, impacting public trust in local governance.
BJP MLA T.S. Srivatsa has urged the government to cancel the allotment of all the 4,350 sites made by the erstwhile Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) between 2019 and 2023 under the controversial 50:50 ratio scheme.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Sunday, Mr Srivatsa said the MUDA, which has now been rechristened as Mysuru Development Authority (MDA), had allotted a total of about 4,350 sites between 2019 and 2024 under the controversial scheme.
