According to sources karnataka Chief minister Siddaramaiah on wednesday questioned the ED slapping a money laundering case against him in the MUDA ‘scam’ and once again ruled out his resignation over the issue. Siddaramaiah also alleged that his wife Parvathi B M, who decided to relinquish the ownership and possession of 14 plots that was allotted to her by the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority), was a victim of ‘politics of hate’ against him and he was surprised by her move.
Meanwhile, MUDA yesterday decided to take back 14 plots allotted to Parvathi, following her decision to return them. Perhaps a team of Lokayukta police probing MUDA site allotment case against Siddaramaiah and others on tuesday surveyed the land, in lieu of which 14 sites were “illegally” allotted to his wife in Mysuru. Moreover hours after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) booked Siddaramaiah in a money laundering case, his wife on monday wrote to MUDA conveying her decision to return the plots stating that no site, home, asset and wealth is bigger for her than her husband’s respect, dignity, honor and peace of mind.
Moreover he also urged the home minister and the director General of police to immediately ensure proper police security to Snehamayi krishna on whose complaint the Lokayukta police has registered an FIR against Siddaramaiah, his wife and two others, claiming that there were reports about “conspiracies” against him. Perhaps home minister G Parameshwara on tuesday alleged political motive behind the ED case against the Chief minister, while citing prime minister Narendra Modi raising the MUDA case during a recent election rally in poll-bound Haryana. “Our allegation is that there is an intention to destabilise the congress government here out of political malice.”
