Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has granted approval for the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with an alleged scam related to the MUDA

Karnataka : Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has sanctioned the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over alleged irregularities in MUDA site allotments. The case revolves around accusations that Siddaramaiah, during his earlier tenure as Chief Minister, played a role in the controversial allotment of sites by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

The Governor’s approval for prosecution was given following a detailed examination of complaints that pointed to potential misuse of power and violation of established procedures in the land allotment process.

According to official sources, this decision marks a significant escalation in the ongoing controversy surrounding the MUDA site allocations. The allegations suggest that certain sites were allotted to individuals with close ties to the Chief Minister or those who could potentially provide political or financial favors, bypassing the usual process meant to ensure fairness and transparency.

The approval for prosecution could lead to formal legal proceedings against Siddaramaiah, casting a shadow over his current term as Chief Minister. This development is expected to intensify the political climate in Karnataka, with opposition parties likely to use the issue to mount further attacks on the ruling government.
