Union Minister HD Kumaraswamy Criticizes Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Over MUDA Scam
Union Minister of Heavy Industries H. D. Kumaraswamy visited the Srirangam Ranganathasamy Temple in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. During his visit, he spoke about the MUDA scam involving Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Kumaraswamy stated, “The matter is in the Court now. The Court has given its directions. Let us see the next development.” He accused the Siddaramaiah-led Karnataka government of unethical practices, including filing FIRs and arresting those who oppose them.
He claimed, “The CM and his cabinet are trying to firefight the MUDA scam. This government has been involved in immoral practices by filing FIRs and arresting people who oppose them but why was a FIR not filed for 48 hours despite order being passed in Siddaramaiah’s case. This government, including the Home Minister, are conspiring to frame me. They are conducting meetings with top cops and ministers to conspire against me.”
Kumaraswamy also criticized the Congress government in Karnataka for misusing its power and accused Siddaramaiah of corruption. He said, “Corruption has become rampant in the government but there are no talks about development in the state. Siddaramaiah claims he is a champion of the backward classes but has not done anything for them. I wouldn’t have spoken today but the government is raking up cases which are over. The government is diverting focus from actual issues by involving me, blaming the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. Siddaramaiah and his government are mired in corruption, scams and controversies; therefore, they are diverting the attention of people.”
