a site in Mysore allotted by Muda.
At a press

the site from KHB which was ment for low and middle income group people"

Nandish also
alleged the minister trying to pressurize him to withdraw the case through
religious heads, police and other officials has increased after Lok ayuktha
filling the final investigation report. "I want to ask minister that if he
is not guilty of committing any crime why he is trying to influence me through
mutt heads and officials?" he asked and said he is determined to take the
case to a logical end.
"I never
disclosed that my house was destroyed by minister's henchmen, but the police
failed to book a case against Mahadev Prasad whom I cited as a
conspirator," he claimed, adding that he will not succumb to any pressure
tactics. "I am receiving even threats from minister's men, but I am not
scared of all these threats," he said.
