[1]On a day when the city has elected a new Mayor and a Deputy Mayor ostensibly for the development of the city, Namma Bengaluru may have the misfortune of having its first citizens reflecting a taint that has already tarred its political class —both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are allegedly accused of encroaching Civic Amenity (CA) sites by the A.T. Ramaswamy report.
D. Venkatesh Murthy has been alleged to have encroached upon the Civic Amenity site earmarked for a park at Radhakrishna Layout, site number 50/A, while his deputy Mr Srinivas is alleged to have built a house which has encroached upon Chikkakallasandra lake in Bengaluru South taluk, the report states.
The name of Mr Srinivas has been listed in the joint house committee report on encroachment in Bengaluru city and the urban district. The inquiry was headed by former legislator A. T. Ramaswamy. Highly placed sources on condition of anonymity said that Mr Srinivas vacated the house which has been built at Chikkakallasandra lake and shifted to another house to avoid any controversy in his bid to win the Deputy Mayor’s post.
