The Bidadi Township Question

The state government's Greater Bengaluru Integrated Township — pitched by some as an "AI City" — proposes acquiring more than 500 acres across villages like Kempayyanapalya, Thayappanadoddi, and Mandalahalli in Ramanagara district. Farmers have blocked survey teams, the BJP and JD(S) have taken the fight to the streets against the Congress government's plan, and a Public Interest Litigation is now before the Karnataka High Court over land acquisition and environmental concerns. The Devil's Advocate takes up the government's side of the argument on purpose — not to settle it, but to see whether it holds up.
