Hundreds of acres of land allotted to RSS and its affiliates by previous BJP govt will be reviewed: Min Dinesh Gundu Rao


PTI, Jun 9, 2023, 3:48 PM IST

The Karnataka government will review the largesse of the previous BJP government in allotting ‘hundreds of acres of land’ to RSS and its affiliated organisations, Karnataka Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao said on Friday.

He also said a few tenders issued by the BJP government have been cancelled while others will be looked into.

The functioning of the health and family welfare department, its officers and doctors and the measures taken to ensure sound public health will be discussed in a meeting next week, Rao added.

”Hundreds of acres of government land in the state have been transferred in the name of RSS and Sangh Parivar affiliated organisations,” the minister said in a press conference.

According to him, the purpose behind such allotment was to help these organisations grow and with that its ideologies should also grow.

”This (allotment of land) should not happen. One should inform everything to the people. Nothing should be kept secret. People should know. Taking everything in one way is not proper. So we have to take steps,” the minister added.

When asked whether the government has taken any steps yet, Rao said he cannot say anything about the steps taken at this juncture but he pointed out that the Congress government has to do it.

”It should happen at the government level where the revenue department and the chief minister have to see what has happened and how it has happened. They have to decide after seeing whether it has been done lawfully and for what price it has been allotted because these are all legal matters,” he explained.

To a question about the BJP claiming that there is a witch hunt against its cadres, Rao alleged that the objective of that party was to meddle with history, create rift among people, and spread hatred, which they were doing at every level, be it in textbooks, or appointing such people in various organisations and allotting government land to RSS and its affiliated organisations.

The minister also said that he has convened a meeting where many decisions will be taken.

He added that the Congress government cancelled a few tenders such as the 108-Ambulance tender and the dialysis contract.

”There are other issues as well, such as the functioning of our department, officers and doctors and taking care of public health. Preventive measures will also be looked into,” Rao said.

He also explained that some policy matters related to his department will be discussed with the experts to improve the existing system to provide quality treatment to people.
