Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra has intensified the party’s scrutiny of the land allocation involving the Siddhartha Vihara Trust, managed by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s family. Vijayendra contended that the 5 acres of land allocated for civic amenities, located adjacent to the Bengaluru International Airport, is a highly valuable plot worth crores. He questioned the rationale behind choosing Kharge’s family trust for this allotment and sought clarity on the number of applicants considered for the land. Vijayendra’s remarks come amidst ongoing allegations of nepotism and misuse of power, which have been leveled against the Siddaramaiah government. The BJP’s focus on this issue underscores their broader strategy to challenge the Karnataka government on various fronts and exploit any potential controversies for political leverage. The accusations have sparked a heated debate over the integrity of land allocation processes and the influence of political connections in securing valuable state resources.
