Last Updated 02 December 2010, 16:54 IST

Addressing media persons here, JD(S) District unit President Deviprasad Shetty said party will organise protest before DC’s office shortly, urging for supreme authority for the office of Lokayukta.

“Government is disturbing the process of inquiry held by Lokayukta against the corrupt ministers. As of now, Lokayukta will not be able to function properly with the limited powers.

Government is not treating Supreme Court magistrate with due respect. It is harassing Lokayukta,” he alleged.

Corrupt ministers should be brought to the court of law. The entire administration is maligned with corruption and calls for urgent need to be set right. Stringent action should be taken against those involved in land scam.

There are many cases of land scandal in different districts. Some cases belonging to Chief Minister’s relatives who have denotified the land in their respective names for a less price. JD(S) has the list of names and the list will be released before pubic shortly, he said.

JD(S) will contest in all the constituencies in the forthcoming ZP and TP polls across the district. Party intends for a tie up with CPI(M) and Bahujan Samajvadi Party (BSP) during these polls, he added.
