Former MLA accuses Minister of grabbing 36 acres of government land in Bengaluru

Former MLA A. Manjunath accused Minister Balakrishna of grabbing 36 acres of government land in Tavarekere Kurubahalli by creating fake documents. Speaking at a press conference in JP Bhavan, he alleged that the land was illegally grabbed and that 10 acres were registered in his wife's name and 26 acres were registered in the name of Nataraja Naidu, who was with him. He stated that the land was government property and that people who have been cultivating it for 50-60 years were threatened and removed. Manjunath demanded that the land be immediately taken over by the government if the CM was transparent, and stated that they would seek permission for prosecution against Balakrishna after getting time from the Governor.
