The Janata Dal (Secular) has petitioned the Karnataka government against the proposed Bidadi township project. A delegation of JD(S) leaders, including MLC T A Sharavana, T N Javarayi Gowda, former MLC Thippeswamy, Ramesh Gowda, and others, submitted a representation to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh.
Concerns Raised
The party expressed concerns over the project's impact on farmers and land acquisition processes. They urged the government to reconsider the township development, citing potential displacement and inadequate compensation for landowners.
Political Context
The petition comes amid ongoing debates over large-scale infrastructure projects in Karnataka. The JD(S) has historically opposed such developments without proper farmer safeguards.
The delegation requested the Chief Secretary to review the project's feasibility and ensure transparent land acquisition policies. No immediate response from the government has been reported.
