Mysuru: The Mysuru Unit of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded the immediate arrest of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister K. S. Eshwarappa in connection with the death of contractor Santosh Patil. The activists staging protest in front of the DC’s Office demanded his immediate arrest.
Addressing the gathering , AAP District United President Malavika Gubbivani said that commission demand of 40% from the contractor Santosh Patil was addressed to the senior Government officials and party seniors a year ago but no action was taken. The President of the Contractors’ Association Kempanna had written a letter to the Prime Minister and yet no action was taken.”
She said, “Eshwarappa is an influential person and if he is not arrested, all the evidence could be destroyed. If the State Government goes against people for whom it should give protection, it will send the wrong message and the people will lose trust in the Government.”
