Bengaluru, Karnataka, India – Karnataka BJP President BY Vijayendra has claimed that Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara have taken a clear stand on seeking the resignation of the current Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. This comes amid allegations surrounding the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land allocation scam.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Vijayendra stated that DK Shivakumar and other senior Congress leaders are considered “Chief Ministers in Waiting.” He asserted that the Congress high command has already decided to ask Siddaramaiah to resign from his position as the state CM.

“DK Shivakumar and a couple of other senior leaders within the Congress party are the Chief Ministers in waiting. In yesterday’s discussion between DK Shivakumar and G. Parameshwara, they have taken a clear stand that they should seek the resignation of the Chief Minister. I am told that the Congress high command has already taken this decision,” Vijayendra said.

Vijayendra also criticized CM Siddaramaiah and his family, stating that the allegations against them would not disappear despite surrendering the plots in the MUDA case. This followed a letter written by Siddaramaiah’s wife to the MUDA Commissioner, offering to surrender the 14 plots that were allotted to her by the authority.

“Just because they have decided to surrender the sites does not mean that all allegations against CM Siddaramaiah and his family will wash out. He is bound to face the investigation and should cooperate. Being him the CM, there can’t be a fair investigation so we demand his resignation,” Vijayendra added.

Earlier today, Karnataka Law Minister HK Patil criticized the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding the MUDA land allocation case, stating that the ED’s case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against CM Siddaramaiah would be a significant mistake. Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara also questioned the involvement of the ED in the MUDA land allocation case, noting the absence of any “financial transactions.”

On Monday, after the ED booked CM Siddaramaiah for money laundering in connection with the alleged MUDA land allotment scam, his wife wrote to the MUDA Commissioner, offering to surrender the 14 plots allotted to her. Meanwhile, the Mysuru Lokayukta has officially started the inquiry and investigation into the case following a court order on September 27 to file an FIR and conduct an investigation against Siddaramaiah for alleged illegalities in the allotment of 14 sites worth Rs 56 crore to his wife Parvathi by the MUDA.
