Yeddyurappa cracks whip on ’moles’
BANGALORE: For Karnataka’s crisis-ridden BJP government, damage control is amounting to information control. It has unleashed a witch-hunt against officials "helping" opposition leaders with vital information. This comes after the government’s attempt to target opposition leaders for their "misdemeanours" during their tenure. The government’s aggression is seen as a fallout of Lokayukta probe into land scams.
Cracking the whip on the moles in his office, CM B S Yeddyurappa last week took some babus to task for leaking information on land scams. "Prepare a list of traitors. We’ll transfer them out of Bangalore," a source quoted him telling his principal secretary. Sources said officials in the line of fire are mainly from the industries department and CM’s office.
This apart, officials have been asked to exercise caution in providing information under the RTI, especially about land acquisition. From early November, officials said the CMO and industries department have been flooded with RTI applications, seeking information on land acquisition, but they were all stonewalled.
Last week, JD(S) leader Y S V Datta filed an RTI application, seeking information on SEZs in Karnataka. He also sought to go through relevant documents under the Act’s Section 5. He got no reply. He now plans to take up the issue with State Information Commission. Datta is mulling the option of invoking the Act’s Sec 18(3), which gives the commission the powers of a civil court to investigate the matter further.
The BJP government, which has been promoting SEZs since 2008, is trying to cover up after allegations of farmland acquisition through unlawful and devious means. As a first step, it plans to re-allot 325 acres of land given to Itaska Software, which allegedly paid Rs 87 crore as kickback to former minister Katta S Naidu.
"We’ve still not allotted land to Itaska though the company has already submitted an indemnity bond. We’ll take final decision on allotment after we get the Lokayukta report. If Lokayukta finds any wrongdoing on the part of the company, we’ll withdraw and allot it to another eligible firm," commerce and industries department principal secretary V P Baligar said.
