Bangalore:
Former Prime Minister and JD(S) Supremo, Mr. H.D. Deve Gowda, has decried the Karnataka State Government for allotting prime properties to cemeteries in and around Bangalore. He has accused the Bangalore Dead Persons’ Association of being ‘Land Sharks’ and has accused it of demanding more land than is really needed for its activities.
In a strongly worded statement, Mr. Gowda criticized the BDPA saying, ”The BDPA has been allotted far more land than is it really needs. This is clearly evidence of the fact that the association has been trading land with the nether-world, cleverly parceling off land from this world into the next”. He went on to praise the HDPA, Hyderabad’s counterpart of the BDPA, for being able to carry out its operations out of rented premises. He thundered, “The HDPA does not own a single sq ft. of land in Hyderabad. Do you see them raising such a hue and cry?”
Defending his organization, the Chairman of the BDPA sharply attacked Mr. Gowda for making allegations against him. It has lampooned Mr. Gowda, saying that many times during his tenure as Prime Minister, he came very close to seeming to be a member of their organization, especially when he was attending long seminars and speeches.
