Magadi JD(S) lawmaker A Manjunath has demanded a CBI investigation into the construction of the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway claiming that it is fraught with irregularities.
Addressing a news conference, Manjunath suspected a “big scam” in the project and charged that Mysore MP Pratap Simha is its “root cause”. Manjunath said, “The road has been designed unscientifically. Crossings were provided in the expressway. There is no interjection on the entire 119 km stretch. Pratap Simha should answer all the questions. We suspect a bigger scam in this project.”
He said a JD(S) delegation, led by senior leader H D Revanna, will go to New Delhi to meet the Union Minister for Road Transport Nitin Gadkari to submit a complaint on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project.
