Mysuru: Appoint Commissioner to MDA immediately, urges MLC
BJP MLC Raghu Kautilya has called for the immediate appointment of a Commissioner to the Mysuru Development Authority to address administrative paralysis. He also raised concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest involving the Urban Development Minister.
Why it matters
The vacancy and corruption allegations surrounding the development authority threaten the governance and infrastructure maintenance of a major heritage city.
Raghu Kautilya, BJP MLC, has urged the State government to immediately appoint a Commissioner to the Mysuru Development Authority (MDA).
The post has been lying vacant ever since Rakshith, who was earlier serving as Commissioner, was appointed as private secretary to Urban Development Minister Yathindra Siddaramaiah.
Addressing a press conference in Mysuru on Wednesday (July 15), Mr. Kautilya, who is also the BJP’s OBC Morcha president, said the functioning of MDA, which had been in the news over the alleged scam relating to the 50:50 ratio scheme, has been seriously affected without a Commissioner.
He also questioned the allocation of the Urban Development portfolio to Mr. Yathindra in view of the allegations of his family members’ involvement in the scam.
