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.
