Former BJP MP Pratap Simha defends Siddaramaiah amid MUDA controversy
Mysuru: Former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha has spoken in defense of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, describing him as a "mass leader" and affirming that he is not corrupt. Simha made these comments during a media briefing held at the BJP office in Mysuru on Wednesday.
Addressing the ongoing controversy over the allocation of a plot by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Simha stated, "I still don't call Siddaramaiah corrupt." He suggested that the Chief Minister should return the disputed plot to set a positive precedent. "You should return the land and don't spoil the reputation by holding onto it. Siddaramaiah is a mass leader. He is not very wealthy compared to other Chief Ministers in the state. Don't let your charisma shrink. Immediately return the land to MUDA and maintain your dignity," Simha urged.

Simha also called for an investigation into the MUDA plot allocation by respected justices such as Santosh Hegde and N. Kumar. He implied that if any wrongdoing occurred, it may have been unintentional. "You may have made a mistake without realizing it. By returning the property, MUDA will benefit by 4 thousand crores," he added.
