Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy accused officials and politicians of attempting to grab approximately 1,24,000 acres of land between Bengaluru and Mysuru under the guise of the NICE road construction project, alleging that a loot involving about 11,000 acres of land is taking place.
Kumaraswamy stated that former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda had not signed for the land acquisition itself, but only for the project to move forward. He claimed that then-DCM Siddaramaiah was the first to sign the file when it reached the finance department.
Kumaraswamy alleged that Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and his family were key beneficiaries of the NICE road scam, citing a joint venture involving DK Suresh and Sobha Developers in Hosakerehalli that allegedly yielded hundreds of flats. He also claimed the scam surpasses the scale of the 2G and coal scams.
