Bengaluru: A week after the BJP Government headed by B.S. Yediyurappa came to power, the State Government is mulling on handing over the probe into the irregularities concerning Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project, executed by Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE), to the CBI.
The State Government’s initiative is based on a directive from the Union Government, asking the State to seriously consider handing over the probe to the CBI, considering the political advantage that the BJP might get if a through probe was conducted into the irregularities. It is alleged that the NICE project is a Rs.22,000 crore scam.
