Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly Jagadish Shettar on Friday alleged that the State government is not bothered to create the 43 new taluks that was announced by him when he was the Chief Minister.
Addressing presspersons, the BJP leader alleged that the State government led by the Congress has not released any funds or recruited the staff required for creating new taluks. The State government has ignored creating new taluks fearing that its credit would go to the BJP, he alleged.
The former Chief Minister said that BJP would lay siege to the Suvarna Soudha at Belagavi on December 9 to protest against what Mr. Shettar alleged as “failure of the government in administration.” He reiterated that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should drop four “tainted ministers” from the Cabinet before the Belagavi session or else, the BJP would disturb the proceedings of the House.
Mr. Shettar alleged that the law and order in the State had collapsed. He was in Mangalore to launch the membership drive of the party.
