Mangalore, February 9: Senior Congress leader B Janardhan Poojary demanded that CM DV Sadananda Gowda convene a special session of the state legislature on Monday and move a resolution seeking the expulsion of three tainted MLAs, who have resigned from their ministerial berths in the wake of porn gate scandal surfacing on the floor of State Assembly.

Addressing a press meet here Thursday, he said that the inquiry ordered by the Speaker KG Bopaiah is an eye-wash and aimed at covering up the despicable acts of the shameless ministers.

Mr Poojary also dared the BJP national president Nithi Gadkari to sack the tainted trio from the primary membership of the saffron party if the so called 'savirours of Indian culture' had any morality.

The Congress veteran went on to call Mr Sadananda Gowda as 'Sex CM of sex scandal' for 'defending the porngate trio'. The way how Mr Gowda handled the issue showed that he was unfit to remain as a CM”, Poojary said.

“Both the CM and Speaker of Legislative Assembly K G Bopaiah have indirectly encouraged the shameless act of ministers, who undermined the sanctity of the Assembly”, he said.

Udupi: Deputy Commissioner K. Vidya Kumari has directed officials to expedite land acquisition for designated industrial zones in the district to facilitate new industries. She issued these instructions during a meeting at Rajatadri on Wednesday.

Lands have been identified across various taluks for industrial development. The DC emphasized that KIADB must acquire these lands and ensure essential infrastructure—electricity, roads, and drainage—to attract industries and generate employment.

A total of 77 acres of private land has been acquired and compensated, including 31.2 acres in Kerebettu village, Hebri taluk, and 45.7 acres in Shivapura village. However, approval for 36.5 acres of government land is still pending. She instructed the forest department to assess whether this land falls under an eco-sensitive zone.

For the Belapu Industrial Area, the DC urged officials to accelerate minor land acquisitions for road expansion and commence construction at the earliest. She also mandated rainwater harvesting systems for all units in the Miyaru Industrial Area to tackle water scarcity.

Currently, 22 export-based units operate in the district. The DC encouraged further promotion of exports and an increase in their number.

The meeting was attended by Joint Director of Industries Nagraj V. Naik, KIADB Development Officer Srinivasa Murthy, Small-Scale Industries Association District President Harish Kunder, Deputy Director of the District Industrial Center Seetharam Shetty, District Skill Development Officer Arun B., and others.
