Leader of the Opposition in Legislative Council K S Eshwarappa has urged Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to drop Public Works Department Minister H C Mahadevappa from the Cabinet following his son’s involvement in illegal sand mining.
Speaking to mediapersons here on Thursday, he said the minister’s son is involved in illegal sand mining.
Besides, he has misused the minister’s official vehicle, he said. When the issue was raised during the session, the minister has given irresponsible statements, he said.
It is said that the minister’s son travelled in the government official vehicle to Mysuru deputy commissioner’s office and held a meeting with the officials, Eshwarappa said.
If this is true, Mahadevappa should step down from the minister’s position owning moral responsibility immediately, he demanded.
Referring to Marigowda’s issue, he said Marigowda, confidant of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, should be arrested for abusing the Mysuru deputy commissioner.
