Kumaraswamy Warns of Farmers' Movement Over NICE Project Land Allegations
Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy has warned of a large-scale farmers' movement against the Bengaluru-Mysuru Infrastructure Corridor (NICE) project, alleging Chief Minister D K Shivakumar is diverting acquired land through a deal with a Hyderabad-based businessman. Kumaraswamy toured affected villages, receiving petitions and accusing the state government of altering the project framework and misusing land for real estate worth over Rs 20,000 crore. He pledged to continue the fight until farmers' land is returned, with further action pending a Supreme Court hearing on October 5.
