B.S. Yediyurappa and controversies -

It was alleged that his sons B. Y. Raghavendra and Vijayendra, and son-in-law R. N. Sohan Kumar have received Rs 20 crore in a 'murky deal' from a Bellary-based mining firm for selling a six acre plot in a high profile IT park in Bangalore.

Raghavendra, the chief minister's another son B Y Vijendra and his son-in-law Sohan Kumar had Rs 20 crore transferred to their accounts from a mining firm in Toranagallu in Bellary district in August towards the sale of six acres at a tech Park here. Raghavendra received Rs 10 crore, Vijendra and Kumar Rs 5 crore each, Kumaraswamy said.

Raghavendra and his younger brother Vijayendra got huge favours after their father became Karnataka deputy chief minister in 2006.
Going by market rate the brothers are now sitting on land worth Rs 500 crore.

Raghavendra got a Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) plot in the posh RMV extension in Bangalore after he was elected to the Lok Sabha in 2009 under the MP's quota. He paid just Rs 10 lakh but the market value is over Rs 2 crore.

BDA rules say if Raghavendra or his family own property in Bangalore then he is not eligible.
But documents with CNN-IBN clearly show that Raghavendra has lied in an affidavit saying he owns no other property in Bangalore.
He forgot that he already owns a mansion at Manyata in Bangalore.

Yeddyurappa is also accused of favouring his daughter Umadevi in setting up a BPO. She got two acres of land on the outskirts of Bangalore.

There are also allegations of the family members getting over 5 acres of land in their home town Shimoga for a hospital and 2 acres for a factory in Bangalore.
Another 11 acres denotified in favour of his sons in March this year are now worth Rs 181 crore. Interestingly, most of these revelations are coming from Janata Dal (Secular) leader HD Kumaraswamy, who was the chief minister when Yeddyurappa was his deputy.

The Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka has announced a judicial inquiry into the land scam allegedly involving the Chief Minister and his family.

Always learn to ask what are the powers of this judicial committee,
to whom , in how many days report will be given, do they got powers to arrest or file police complaint
Or this is just waste of Indian tax payers money.

What is the use of inquiry if there is no punishment , no time limit regarding inquiry.
