Bangalore: CM’s private secretary, B.G Puttaswamy, has charged on Wednesday that two days before leaving CM’s chair, former JD-S CM, H.D Kumaraswamy had given illegal permission to iron ore mining in large parts of Sandur taluk of Bellary.
Speaking in a press conference today (April 13) BG Puttaswamy released documents relating to recommendations made by former CM Kumaraswamy to allow Sai Venkatesh Minerals Co.. to conduct mining in forbidden areas in Sandur taluk.
Kumaraswamy has denied his consent in a statement later but what does he say about the recommendations made in Sandur mining areas, Puttaswamy asked.
However, HDK furiously condemned Puttaswamy for his allegations, saying mining was permitted as per law laid down. He asked BJPO leaders to take action against him, if he had gone wrong, in an urgent press meet to deny BJP’s accusations.
