BJP Leader Basanagouda R Patil Criticizes Karnataka CM Siddharamaiah Over MUDA Land Allotment Scandal
BJP leader Basanagouda R Patil criticized Karnataka Chief Minister Siddharamaiah after the CM’s wife, Parvati, offered to surrender 14 plots allotted to her by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA). Patil questioned whether this was a ‘meek surrender’ or ‘damage control’ amid allegations of a land allotment scam.
Patil took to social media platform X to express his concerns, stating, ‘Mrs. Siddaramaiah now surrenders the 14 plots awarded as compensation to her in MUDA. Why such a knee-jerk reaction? Why surrender sites and request for cancellation of the sale deed after complaint is lodged?’
He further added, ‘Siddaramaiah avare, you are now openly accepting the fact that the award of compensation was not commensurate, equitable and justified for your land acquisition. MUDA case is now an Open n’ Shut case of clear misuse of power & nepotism.’
Meanwhile, Karnataka CM Siddharamaiah expressed surprise at his wife’s decision, attributing it to political vendetta and mental harassment. He stated on social media platform X, ‘My wife, Parvati, has returned the plots of land that were taken without compensation from the land acquired by the MUDA in Mysore. It is well known to the people of the state that opposition parties have fabricated false allegations against me to achieve political vendetta and have dragged my family into controversy.’
He added, ‘However, my wife, who has suffered due to the political conspiracy directed against me, has taken the decision to return these plots, which has surprised me. I regret that my wife, who has remained out of politics for the past four decades and limited her involvement to family matters, has been subjected to mental harassment as a victim of this political vendetta against me.’
Earlier today, the Mysuru Lokayukta officially started the inquiry and investigation into the case linked to the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land allotment scam following a September 27 court order to file a FIR, directing them to conduct an investigation against Siddaramaiah on the allegation of illegalities in the allotment of 14 sites worth Rs 56 crore to his wife Parvati by the MUDA.
