NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday slammed the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka over the MUDA and Valmiki scams saying wherever the Congress rules, it indulges in corruption.
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari alleged that the MUDA scam and Valmiki Corporation scam are occurring because Rahul Gandhi instructs his Chief Ministers to engage in corruption and transfer the “cut money” of the corruption to his “family coffers”.

“From Delhi to Karnataka, the INDI alliance government is involved in corruption. They do not believe in serving the poor. They believe in looting the poor. In delhi, they were involved in a liquor scam. In Karnataka, the excise department is taking money for transfers and postings. All of this points towards only one common factor and that common illustration is the Congress party. Wherever it governs, it is only involved in acts of corruption and the Karnataka Congress Party is running the most corrupt government in Karnataka till date”, Bhandari said.
“MUDA scam, liquor scam, Valmiki Corporation scam all these scams are happening because Rahul Gandhi instructs his Chief Ministers to commit corruption and transfer the cut money of the corruption to his family coffers this is why ‘C’ for Congress, ‘C’ for corruption,” he added.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday arrived at Lokayukta Police office in Mysuru for an inquiry over the alleged irregularities in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.
The Mysuru Lokayukta officially has initiated an inquiry into the MUDA scam case following a September 27 court order to file an FIR. The Lokayukta was directed to investigate allegations of illegalities in the allotment of 14 sites worth Rs 56 crore to Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi. It is alleged that MUDA illegally allotted these sites to the Chief Minister’s wife in a prime location in Mysuru city. (ANI)
