But the Bill created a ruckus and triggered heated arguments between Congress and BJP members in the Assembly. Congress members, including deputy opposition leader UT Khader, said the bill might help real estate players, allowing them to develop illegal layouts without any civic amenities or roads. They said the decision could hurt the state more than help the people. They alleged that the government is allowing properties that are not assessed by the panchayats to be converted and given khatas. Municipal Administration Minister MTB Nagaraju, denying the charges, said that not everyone can avail of the benefit. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said this is a problem that has prevailed for a long time. The regularisation of properties is a complicated issue that needs to be solved one by one. “Through the amendment, we are only trying to help owners who do not have khatas, without which they cannot get loans or sell properties. The regularisation of properties within the planning authority is the ‘Akrama Scheme that is before the court. What we have done now refers to properties outside the jurisdiction of planning authorities,” he said. The government is hoping for relief from the court on the Akrama-Sakrama scheme, he added. The Karnataka Goods and Services Tax Amendment Act and Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanaagara Palike Amendment Bill were also passed in the Assembly.

Shetty during a protest on Monday had allegedly said that Rahul should be locked and slapped inside parliament. He also said that Hindus are ready to take up weapons if the need arises. Meanwhile, KPCC working president Manjunath Bhadary told reporters on Wednesday that he will request Home Minister G Parameshwara to initiate strict action against Shetty for his attempt to incite violence. “The manner in which Shetty spoke about Rahul Gandhi makes all legislators from the coastal Karnataka hang their head in shame. He has only joined the list of legislators who support violence and intimate government officials,” he said. Bhandary maintained that Rahul did not insult anyone in his parliament speech and only said the Hindu religion does not support violence and thatthe religion does not belong only to RSS and BJP. “What's wrong in that?” he asked DCC president K Harish Kumar said the Congress will stage protests against Shetty's remarks across the district for three days. Referring to Swami Avimukteshwarananda, the 46th Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math in Uttarakhand, coming out in support of Rahul over his statements, Kumar said Hindu religion has survived because of its ideals and not due to RSS and BJP. He demanded the resignation of Shetty and added that he is also not fit to continue the medical profession.
