BENGALURU: The complainant in the MUDA site allotment case against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s family, T J Abraham, has submitted a memorandum to the MUDA commissioner on Monday, seeking the cancellation and recall of the 14 alternative compensatory sites given to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathi B M.
In a letter dated August 5, Abraham stated, “A complaint under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been given to the Karnataka Lokayukta police at Mysuru, on July 18, 2024 and followed it up with additional information to the Lokayukta police on July 25, for cognizable offences, seeking an investigation and registration of the FIR, for the illegal manipulations and corrupt steps taken at various stages and all the crimes committed in the course of the 14 alternative compensatory site allotments given to Parvathi B M, which was allegedly in lieu of the 3 acres and 16 guntas, in Survey No. 464, of Kesere village, in Mysuru, supposedly belonging to Parvathi B M, claimed to have been acquired by MUDA, which has resulted in a loss of Rs 55,80,00,700 according to me to the state exchequer.”
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday reiterated that the MUDA case will be dealt with legally and politically. He said that the show-cause notice issued by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot in the MUDA case should be withdrawn.
He said, “The show-cause notice issued by the governor regarding the MUDA case should be withdrawn. Similarly, we requested the governor to reject the complaint given by activist T J Abraham”. He said that he would wait and watch what decision the Governor would take in this regard.
Accusing the central government of misusing the Raj Bhavan to destabilise the state government, Siddaramaiah said that the Governor is acting as a puppet of the central government and BJP-JDS alliance in the state.
The CM said the governor issuing a show-cause notice to him over the MUDA scam is illegal and unconstitutional. “The central government is misusing the Raj Bhavan in an attempt to destabilise the elected government”, he said.
Earlier, a complaint was filed by social activist Snehamayi Krishna against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and nine others for allegedly forging documents to claim compensation from the Mysuru Urban Development Authority.
The complaint alleges wrongdoing by Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathi, his brother-in-law Malikarjuna Swamy Devaraj, who claimed to be a landowner, and his family. It was further alleged that MUDA created fake documents and obtained plots worth crores of rupees. Snehamayi Krishna has raised several questions in his complaint.
The BJP demands that the land given to the CM’s family should be returned. The opposition accused Siddaramaiah of usurping the lands that belonged to the Dalit community. (ANI)
