Hebbalkar accused of grabbing sites
Shankar Munavalli, a former Congress leader, alleged that residential sites belonging to the Belagavi Urban Development Authority (BUDA) were indiscriminately distributed to the relatives of Hebbalkar when D K Shivakumar was the Urban Development Minister in 2004. He demanded that Shivakumar and Hebbalkar step down from their respective posts. Munavalli said several sites were distributed under Scheme-51 of BUDA, but the beneficiaries were all relatives of Hebbalkar.
