Udupi, Nov 22: “The state BJP administration has been involved in many land scams which has disgraced Kannadigas in the country. Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa is expected to take moral responsibility for this and step down to face a CBI enquiry”, urged legislative council opposition party leader V S Ugrappa.

He was addressing a large gathering of Kaup block Congress party activists’ convention, held here on Sunday November 21.

Mining baron Reddy’s family, ministers Shobha–Ashok–Katta are also involved in land scams of various proportions thereby swindling nature’s resources”, he alleged.

Ugrappa urged the party activists to get ready to curb the swindling of nature’s resources of the state by the ruling party.
