Karnataka sources stated that karnataka Chief minister Siddharamiah on tuesday said that he was surprised by his wife Parvathi’s decision to surrender all 14 plots that were allotted to her by the mysore Urban Development Authority (Muda). Siddaramaiah’s remarks were in reference to the ongoing controversy linked to the alleged Muda land allotment scam.
When taking to social media platform X, the karnataka CM said that the public is well aware of the false allegations made by the Opposition parties to create political hatred against him. “My stand was to fight without bowing down to this injustice. But my wife, who is upset with the political conspiracy against me, decided to return these plots, which has surprised me,” he said.
As per report a day earlier, it was reported that Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi, in a letter to the Muda Commissioner, expressed her willingness to return the 14 sites. Parvati's letter came after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on monday booked Siddaramaiah, his wife and some others in a money laundering case linked to the alleged scam. On september 27, the karnataka Lokayukta police filed a case against Siddaramaiah following the directions of a special court.
Moreover in her letter, parvathi had said that she was hurt by the allegations and subsequently decided to return the sites. The Opposition bharatiya janata party (BJP) claimed that the letter was an admission of guilt and demanded the CM's resignation.
