As many as 115 lawmakers during the BNP-led four-party rule were allotted plots in the city's Banani, Uttara and Purbachal areas, according to a list placed in parliament yesterday.
Of the recipients, 95 belonged to BNP, nine to its alliance partner Jamaat-e-Islami, five to Jatiya Party and six to the then main opposition Awami League (AL).
State Minister for Housing and Public Works Abdul Mannan Khan disclosed the list in response to a query from AL lawmaker Muhibur Rahman Manik.
The list includes a number of former ministers from BNP.
Khulna City Corporation's former mayor Sheikh Tayebur Rahman, ex-state ministers Mir Mohammad Nasir Uddin and Barkatullah Bulu, and the then prime minister's adviser Prof Jahanara Begum got plots in the MP category, though they were not members of the eighth parliament.
With theirs, the total count of plots in this category stands at 119.
Ruling AL lawmakers yesterday alleged that a good number of the allottees had concealed that they already had land in Dhaka city.
On their request that the MPs owning no land in the capital be allotted plots, the state minister said those who have applied for plots in Purbachal and Uttara would be given land.
Replying to a query from Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal lawmaker Mainuddin Khan Badal, Mannan Khan said actions will be taken against illegal allotment, and an investigation is already underway.
