Neta-backed institutions default on lease amounts worth Rs. 152 crore

The total defaulted amount is Rs 152 crore and the defaulters includes organisations belonging to the majority Vokkaliga community and to BJP politicians like Prabhakar Kore, former MLA Sanjay Patil and Dr. M R Doreswamy.

The State Vokkaliga Sangha, the Karnataka Lingayat Education Society, Gomatesh Vidyapeetha, People Education Society, Oxford English School and such institutions won’t show any leniency to parents when it comes to payment of school and college fees, but apparently have no qualms in defaulting on lease amounts to the tune of crores of rupees.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has published a list of 34 major defaulters in Friday’s newspapers in Bengaluru. “We have published their names in local newspapers and have served last notices to them to pay the dues,” said a BDA official.

“The defaulted amount is to the tune of Rs 1,52,14,87,699. This includes interest and GST. The BDA has asked these institutions to pay the default amount in the next 15 days or else, as per the BDA rules 1989, sections 10 (3) and 10 (12), the said property along with the buildings thereon will be taken over. Further, the leases will be cancelled,” the official said.
