Karnataka govt to look into land allotment to actress Ranya Rao during BJP’s tenure. Actress was arrested after being caught while smuggling gold at the Bengaluru International Airport, on last Monday. She is in the custody of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and the matter is also being probed by the CBI. KIADB has clarified that M/s Ksiroda India Pvt. Ltd., a company linked to Kannada actress, was allotted 12 acres of land on January 2, 2023. The company had submitted a proposal to set up a manufacturing unit for Steel TMT bars, rods, and allied products, with an investment of Rs 138 crore. The issue is likely to trigger a controversy in the state and bring the ruling Congress and the Opposition BJP on a confrontational path. The land was approved for allotment during the 137th State Level Single Window Clearance Committee (SLSWCC) meeting held on the same day, when the previous BJP government was in power.
