I will accept Court’s decision in disproportionate assets case: DCM DK Shivakumar

Sakaleshpura: Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar today said he would accept the Court’s decision in the disproportionate assets case as God’s decision.

“I believe in the Courts and I believe in God. I will accept the decision of the Court as God’s decision,” he said, replying to questions about the disproportionate assets case during an inspection of Yettinahole project works in Sakaleshpura.

Asked about a complaint lodged against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, he said, “I don’t know why some are pouncing on the Chief Minister. Nothing would happen to the CM. It is the BJP which has allotted compensatory sites to CM’s wife in lieu of the land. CM doesn’t have any role in this.”

Asked about Kumaraswamy’s allegation that the land has been de-notified, he said, “I will only respond to ‘asli’ (genuine) and not to the ‘nakli’ (fake).”

“We carried out experimental operation on Wednesday evening. The project benefits people of seven districts including Tumakuru, Chikkaballapura, Chitradurga and parts of Ramangara. We will have to pump water before the rainy season ends. This project is a testimony to our philosophy of delivered as promised,” he said.

“The project is ambitious venture of our government. We will invite elected representatives of all the districts for the inauguration of the project. We will invite all the officials involved in the project as well. Many people criticised this project, but good work will live on forever,” he added.

“Right from the labour to engineers, everyone has worked hard for the project. It is difficult project where in water flows through for a distance of 1.5 km in a tunnel. I would like to thank everyone involved in the project. We will finalise the inauguration date after consulting the CM,” he noted.
