No burden on exchequer by giving TDR to acquire Bengaluru Palace land, BJP MP

Also, the BJP MP sought to clarify that the courts had ordered status quo on the government’s move to acquire Bengaluru Palace. Referring to Law Minister H. K. Patil’s claim that there is no stay on the proposed move, Mr Yaduveer said there may be no stay, but the court has ordered ‘status quo’.

Mysuru Lok Sabha MP Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar has claimed that there will be no burden on the exchequer if the government of Karnataka provides Transfer of Developmental Rights (TDR) to the erstwhile royal family of Mysuru for acquisition of Bengaluru Palace land for widening the nearby roads.

Mr Yaduveer is a member of the erstwhile royal family of Mysuru.

Speaking to reporters at Suttur near Mysuru, Mr Yaduveer accused the State Government of trying to mislead the public by claiming that the government had to provide compensation to acquire land.

“The State Government does not have to give any compensation. The government has to provide TDR certificates,” Mr Yaduveer claimed. “By issuing TDR certificates, the burden on the State exchequer is zero,” he added.
