Details of the MUDA Case
The allegations involve Siddaramaiah, his wife BM Parvathi, his brother-in-law Mallikarjuna Swamy, and others accused of irregularities in MUDA site allotments. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had issued summons to Parvathi and Karnataka Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh.
However, the Karnataka High Court stayed the summons and is currently reviewing a petition to transfer the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) due to concerns over Lokayukta’s impartiality.
CM Siddaramaiah’s Response
Speaking to the press, Siddaramaiah pointed out that the High Court had raised questions about the ED’s urgency in issuing summons. “The judge asked the ED why they were rushing to issue summons. There is a stay order by the court, and the matter is under judicial discussion,” he stated.
He emphasized that he has nothing to fear, as the judicial process is being followed. “I am confident that justice will prevail. The judge has reserved the order, and I am optimistic about the outcome,” Siddaramaiah said.
Political Allegations
The CM strongly maintained that the case is politically motivated, aiming to tarnish his reputation. He assured the public that the truth would come to light through the ongoing judicial process.
