Addressing a press meet at a private hotel in the city, he said that efforts are being made to twist history. “No one can destroy history and truth always endures,” he said. Making a serious allegation, he alleged that Rs 13 crore funds have been raised for the development of Gejjegiri Nandanabitthil, from the people of the community. “Unfortunately, a single cent of land has not been registered in Gejjegiri Nandanabitthil. The complete property is in the name of two individuals. Hence, I demand a detailed probe into this matter.
