Bengaluru: Lokayukta, the state anti-corruption body, on Friday registered a case against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land allocation case.
Lokayukta’s action comes after a court order directed Lokayukta police to probe allegations that the CM’s wife was allocated premium properties by MUDA in violation of norms.
The FIR has named Siddaramaiah as first accused, followed by his wife Parvathi, brother-in-law Mallikarjun Swamy, and one Devaraj, from whom Mallikarjuna purchased land and gifted it to Parvathi.
So will the CM resign now, even as calls from Opposition and also his own party Congress grow louder against him.
The CM seemed to stay defiant as he told reporters on Friday he was being targeted as the Opposition is “scared” of him.
“I have done no wrong. This is the first time a political case has been registered against me. This is a political case, please underline,” Siddaramaiah said, accusing the Central government of misusing central agencies like CBI, ED and also the office of Governor in Opposition-ruled states across the country.
