Union Minister for Steel and Heavy Industries, H D Kumaraswamy, has leveled serious accusations against the Karnataka government, claiming that the Greater Bengaluru township project has turned into an 'official real estate business'.

During a recent press conference, Kumaraswamy alleged that the government was targeting fertile agricultural lands under the pretense of urban development and that no genuine consultations had taken place with the villagers.
