Sullia: Site allotment row involving U T Khadar - BDA commissioner clarifies


Daijiworld Media Network – Sullia (SP)

Sullia, Apr 2: Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) commissioner, Sham Bhatt, has clarified that the BDA site, allotment of which was sought by Lord Subrahmanyeshwara Temple, Subrahmanya for setting up of its information centre at Bangalore, was allotted to UT Nasima Fareed Memorial Charitable Education Trust, as the site had been specifically earmarked for a service organization exclusively involved with serving physically and mentally challenged persons.

It may be recalled that the alleged involvement of minister U T Khadar in ensuring that the application for the allotment of this particular site by the said temple got rejected, and a trust run by his brother benefitted as a result, had kicked up a lot of storm in coastal Karnataka.

‘’BDA had invited applications from interested organizations for allotment of 34 sites in Bangalore. On January 30, 2013, executive officer of Subrahmanya Temple, H M Kali, filed an application in prescribed form, seeking allotment of CA site No 2 under serial No 5 in the 4th block of Banashankari 6th stage in Bangalore. He had shown the purpose as setting up of temple information centre. Before filing this application, some members of the temple managing committee and executive officer had visited Banashankari to check the location of the site. In spite of being aware that this site had been reserved for some other purpose, the executive officer mentioned this particular site number in the application, as some people expressed the confidence of getting the same changed at a later date," Bhatt said.

Bhatt feels that the temple authorities could have applied for a suitable site after correctly verifying the purposes for which they are reserved. The said trust had applied for a site for the second time, and its earlier application had been rejected.

Out of 11 applications received for this site, five were found to be eligible. The site was later allotted to an organization, which conformed to norms and was found to be most eligible out of these five organizations, BDA commissioner said. He clarified that the deposit of Rs 3,99,858 collected from all the other organizations were refunded to them.

    Dear Jeevan

    When the BDA commissioner clarifies that the site has been allotted purely based on ion of criteria.

    On what basis you are suggesting Mr. Khader to resign?

    If you believe that BDA has soft c corner for Mr. Khader, You can suggest to have a judicial probe on the process of ing the institute that to have a probe on the committee members and not against Mr. Khader and also Mr. Khader is not a member in the said institute.

    Since 2002, When there were allegations against Mr. Modi, the chief minister of Gujarath. why you did not ask Mr. Modi to resign until the verdict???

    Let the comment be unbiased if you believe that you are a true Hindutva follower.

    Jai Hind..:)

    Many criticize Mr. U.T.Kader without reading the clarification.
    People forgot the Mr. APJ Kalam speech a day before"So you should strive for rightneousness in heart. You need to choose a leader who has righteousness in heart."
    Those who are objecting are not striving for rightneousness but thinking communal.

    In this case U.T. Khader is neither directly involved nor he was aware of the official favoring his brother. The officials who are bragging now should have brought to the notice of the higher ups or any other agencies during that period. Now let the authority take action against the officials who favored UT Khader's brother and his wife's trust and don’t target UT Khader because he is honest, secular and hardworking for the development of this region and his ministerial portfolio.
    The statement at this juncture is purely politically motivated by a BJP supporting government official for the BJP vote bank and to tarnish the image of honest and straightforward UT Khader.
    Jai Hind!

    rich temple like kukke subramanya temple should not have approached govt for cheap land. they should buy it from the kanike recieved from devotees. also govt should not interfere in temple management and rules and ritual followed their. asides to this, there need to be clear transparency is required in bda on their procedure of allotment. Remaining 4 trust should file RTI to find out whether the land was given based on political influence

Once again BJP exposed their hidden agenda on minorities & shedding crocodile tears while begging minority votes.

    I hope this clarification from the "Horse's Mouth" the authority who published the availability of sites for certain purpose only and allotted to such organisation only should shut the big mouths who were trying to tarnish the image of Mr. U. T. Khader and to bring disrepute alleging showing favouritism and make him look like a culprit, just like them.
    One should not stoop so low with all these conniving acts to find faults with him. It will only boomerang (it has now!!) and you will be hurt.
    And that too Temple authorities involved knowingly they were not eligible for the offer and wanted only a certain\particular site!!! Does it show everyone who is not communal the purpose behind for obtaining a particular site already given to a organisation!!!
    God only save all of us in the event there is a change...
    Please vote diligently.

    If you can read and understand English, read it once again. Here is the clarification: "Out of 11 applications received for this site, five were found to be eligible. The site was later allotted to an organization, which conformed to norms and was found to be most eligible out of these five organizations, BDA commissioner said". Now those people who called UT Khadar as "chor" should commit suicide as they don't deserve to be alive in this society. We know UT Khader very well. People love him because of his integrity and we are electing him for all these years.

    Stupid question. Don't you apply for the jobs if you are not fully eligible? Even kindergarten kid's can answer your question. Let me tell you applications are being received and they are being scrutinized. When you want to stand in the election, they accept your nomination first and then if you are not eligible they will reject it. Did you get this point now?

    Peter Sir..how these people will understand? They are die hard fans of BJP and they just praise BJP. They don't mind when BJP is involved in Corruption, Communal and criminal activities. They brand people in other political parties (other than BJP) as thieves, corrupt and criminals. So, nothing better can be expected from these fake nationalists. For me, I condemn UT Khader if he has done wrong and I praise if he does a good job as I don't have any party affiliations. For me, the person comes first and I don't care whatever party he belongs to.

    Shetre..just go back to earlier comments. I comment to the subject. Here the subject is UT Khadar. Don't try to divert the issue. For me, Re 1 corruption is also corruption and if it's in crores tehn also corruption. My point is simple. I can't tolerate corruption by anyone, including congress. I don't support any political party. I support only the "clean" people. In other words, for me, BJP and Congress are like two sides of the same coin. I don't find any difference. By raking up issues other than this topic here, it shows your frustration and it shows how die hard fan you are of BJP in their misdeeds as well. Great going...Keep it up..

    Poojarle, this is not frustration, but simple jubilation and celebration because BJP is going to come to power in the next election rather I would say CONGiss is going to be kicked out from Centre. Yes we were frustrated when CONGiss came to power in Kar_Nataka though they are more corrupt Political Party than anybody else but it was for a short period because it was people mandate and in democracy we have to accept the verdict though it is wrong or right. Same time have some courage to accept the good deeds of BJP or RSS or VHP too. Anyhow, we will meet in Mangalore Pub on 16th May’14 evening for celebration because most of us those who bombard with many comments never bothered or participated in voting till date. Just Chill and enjoy…………..

    Dear Mr. Sachidananda Shetty, the day BJP stop dancing to the tune of communal forces like VHP and RSS, the day they strive to unite India, the day they treat all Indians are same irrespective of religion, I will be die hard supporter of BJP. I strongly say, Congress is corrupt to the core. However, BJP is not lagging behind in corruption. Just 5 years rule in Karnataka and we have witnessed what was the situation. Any party or person who interferes in the religious freedom of fellow Indians, who dictate terms on food, dress etc. on fellow Indian through illegal channels, a person or party who harms fellow Indians on his religion, caste, language is an enemy of India. Till date, AAP is free from these qualities and have a hope on AAP. Jai ho AAP. No congress, no BJP...but, corruption is preferred over communalism. Jai Hind.
