Small BusinessCM hits back at Gowda over BMIC
Chief minister B S Yeddyurappa has said that H D Deve Gowda has no locus standi to criticise the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) project as it was he as chief minister who had cleared allotment of land at a lower price and had even signed an agreement accepting the clause that courts in London would have jurisdiction on dispute redressal.

“My government has not signed these agreements,” he said, rejecting the reservations expressed by Gowda on the project, on which the former Prime Minister has moved the Supreme Court. The response of ministers and his party legislators was “good” at yesterday’s Legislature party meeting, where it was decided that all should work unitedly to implement development works, he said.
Besides, the chief minister has promised to present a “pro-people” Budget this March and to review progress of implementation of the proposals in the 2009-10 Budget in two-three days.
