Mysuru: “I will take political retirement even if one farmer or a middleman says that G.T. Devegowda has accepted money from them,” said Chamundeshwari MLA G.T. Devegowda, two days after the State Government handed over the alleged Karnataka Housing Board (KHB) scam to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
The scam allegedly took place when G.T. Devegowda was the KHB Chairman and the complaint was with the Lokayukta where it was in cold storage. However, ACB has now registered an FIR against his son G.D. Harish Gowda and 46 other accused. The FIR was filed in connection with a 2014 scam alleging that farmers near Mysuru were cheated in the matter of buying land for a housing project.
