Mysuru/Pandavapura: Continuing his diatribe against Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambarish, former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy has said that Sumalatha was attempting to extract money from the mining industry. “It is all about money and the legal miners are being targeted. Mining in the region is going on for over 50 years and anyone can investigate it,” he said.
Seconding Kumaraswamy, Pandavapura JD(S) MLA C.S. Puttaraju said that the MP had raised the issue of cracks in KRS Dam but had faced embarrassment as the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited that manages the Dam has certified that the Dam was safe. “Now she is targeting miners who are doing a legal business,” he claimed.
