Mysuru/ Bengaluru: The Karnataka Government’s move to restart probe into the case against Chamundeshwari JD(S) MLA and former Chairman of Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) G.T. Devegowda (GTD), his son G.D. Harish Gowda and others kicked off a political slugfest yesterday.
The FIR comes at a time when GTD is set to lock horns with Chief Minister Siddharamaiah from Chamundeshwari in Mysuru in the ensuing Assembly elections. The case, investigated by the Lokayukta, was transferred to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which is being seen as a political strategy to take on GTD in the high-stakes battle. The move is seen as a ploy to cow down Devegowda.
