Karnataka Governor permits prosecution of CM Siddaramaiah in MUDA scam
Bengaluru: Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on Saturday granted permission to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam, according to sources from PTI.
The MUDA 'scam' involves allegations that compensatory sites were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi, in an upscale area of Mysuru. These sites reportedly had a higher property value compared to the original location of her land, which was acquired by MUDA.
Siddaramaiah has previously accused the opposition parties, BJP and JD(S), of attempting to tarnish his image by making false allegations in this case. Both opposition parties have been demanding Siddaramaiah's resignation over the scandal.
