BJP's BY Vijayendra reacts to Karnataka High Court's relief to CM Siddaramaiah in alleged MUDA scam
Bengaluru: Karnataka BJP state president and MLA BY Vijayendra has stated that the Karnataka High Court has not given a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam case.
Addressing the media on Tuesday, Vijayendra said that social activist Snehamayi Krishna had filed a petition in the High Court seeking a CBI probe into the alleged scam. However, the court rejected the plea, ruling that the case would not be handed over to the central agency. He emphasized that this decision does not imply Siddaramaiah’s innocence.
"The High Court has not acquitted Siddaramaiah of the charges. It has only ruled that the CBI will not investigate the case," Vijayendra said, adding that the BJP's fight against the alleged scam will continue.
He further claimed that the BJP had exposed the involvement of the Chief Minister’s family in the alleged irregularities and accused them of misappropriating funds worth thousands of crores. "Our fight against corruption and this scam is not over. We remain committed to our allegations," he asserted.

India has agreed already to drop its tariffs to nothing: President Trump
New York/Washington, May 7 (PTI): US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said India has “agreed” to drop its high tariffs “to nothing”.
“I mean, India as an example, has one of the highest tariffs in the world. We’re not going to put up with that, and they’ve agreed already to drop it. They’ll drop it to nothing. They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Trump and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke to reporters as they met in the Oval Office to discuss the US-Canada trade.
“So we’re going to put down some numbers and we’re going to say our country is open for business and they’re going to come in and they’re going to pay for the privilege of being able to shop in the United States of America. It’s very simple. It’s very simple,” he added.
In the past, Trump has called India “tariff king” and a “big abuser”.
Last month, Trump had said that negotiations with India over a bilateral trade deal are “coming along great” and he thinks “we’ll have a deal with India”.
