Illegal sand mining, Malavalli MLA blamed

Speaking at a press meet in Mandya on Monday, Annadani claimed that the recent incident of the MLA seizing illegal sand-laden lorries as a gimmick and alleged of Narendraswamy being hand-in-glove with the mafia. He is ready to prove his allegations by releasing the relevant documents, he stated.

He also alleged that the MLA’s relatives are involved in the illegal business and the former has even directed the authorities concerned not to stop the vehicles till it crosses Maddur. Annadani also ridiculed that the people cannot expect  honesty from Narendraswamy who is a   team member of former chief minister Yeddyurappa.

He also explained that as no contract has been awarded for sand mining in Malavalli and T Narasipur,  trucks are still seen transporting sand in the taluk. There are enough evidences to prove the involvement of Narendraswamy and also challenged  him to participate in open debate.
