A complaint was filed against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Bengaluru Development Minister K J George with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Anti Corruption Bureau alleging financial irregularities in setting up of waste processing units in city.
BJP leader and former corporator N R Ramesh, who filed the complaint, told reporters on Tuesday that six waste processing units were set up by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) at a cost of Rs 400 crore in 2015.
