“Rs.60 Crores have been swallowed up in Bhovi Development Corporation.Which party does the person belong who has gone to jail for misappropriation of more than 47 crore rupees at Devaraja Urs Truck Terminal? Shouldn’t it be told?”the CM asked, adding that the investigation into these scandals is ongoing.
I am not threatening, just stating the facts:

“D.S.Veeraiah,who was the president,and Shankarappa, M.D.of Devaraja Urs Truck Terminal,have gone to jail. Why is it not mentioned?Isn’t it also taxpayers’ money?” The Chief Minister questioned why it was not questioned by the opposition party.
