Abstract

The article focuses on the criticism from the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Karnataka regarding the Congress government's allocation of civic amenity sites for the construction of party offices. The BJP alleges that these sites were given to the Congress at a significantly reduced price—only five percent of their guidance value—during Cabinet meetings, which they claim serves the party's interests over public welfare. Congress aims to construct at least 100 new buildings to commemorate the centenary of the 1924 Congress session in Belagavi, which was presided over by Mahatma Gandhi. BJP state president B Y Vijayendra condemned the land allotments as a misuse of power and a betrayal of the public trust, emphasizing the negative impact on the public exchequer and the struggles of ordinary citizens to secure land.
