Bengaluru: Congress leader Narayanaswamy who is accused of misusing his power, by throwing petrol inside the premises of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) office and threatening to set it on fire has been suspended on February 20.
Chief minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday directed the BWSSB President Tushar Girinath to suspend the leader.
Narayanaswamy, a close aid of Congress MLA Byrati Basavaraj, had taken the grave step after a fake document which he submitted was rejected by an official.
The video posted by local channels showed Narayanaswamy splashing petrol from a bottle in the BBMP office at Bengaluru’s Horamavu. The official had reportedly refused to provide a fake land document as per his demands. Narayanawamy is also the block president of KR Puram in Bengaluru.
