The former Endowment Minister and in-charge of Dakshina Kannada and MLC Kota Srinivas Poojary on Friday wrote to Lokayukta P. Vishwanath Shetty to hold an inquiry into the allegations being made against him in the social media on the construction of his house at Giliyar village in Brahmavar taluk of Udupi district. He said that some social media posts have shown him in poor light by mocking at him stating that a simple man [Mr. Poojary] is building a house at a cost of ₹6 crore on 13 cents of land. But, Mr. Poojary said that he is constructing the house at an estimated cost of ₹60 lakh. The source of funding is ₹35 lakh which he had availed himself of as loan from the apex bank and ₹40 lakh loan which he has sought from State Bank of India, Varamballi-Brahmavar branch. The loan from the SBI is in the stage of being sanctioned and the first instalment is likely to be released shortly.
