‘Truth has won’: Surjewala after SC order dismissing ED plea against Siddaramaiah’s wife in MUDA case

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala on Monday launched a sharp attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing it of levelling “false allegations” against Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case.

This comes after the Supreme Court dismissed the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) plea seeking investigation against his wife B M Parvathi in connection with the alleged irregularities with regard to illegal land allotments by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

In a social media post on X, the Congress MP said, “BJP manufactured false allegations against Karnataka CM, Sh. @siddaramaiah over MUDA! BJP protested for months against Karnataka CM, Sh. @siddaramaiah over MUDA! BJP misused the Office of Governor and unleashed the ED against Karnataka CM, Sh. @siddaramaiah & his wife over MUDA!” “BJP maliciously hounded and levelled false allegations against Karnataka CM, Sh. @siddaramaiah over MUDA!” he added.

Hailing the Supreme Court’s decision, Surjewala stated that the Supreme Court “rejected and quashed the fake propganda of ED-BJP partnership.” Surjewala said, “Supreme Court today and High Court earlier, rejected and quashed the fake propganda of ED-BJP partnership. Truth has won! Satyamev Jayate”.

Earlier today, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to dismiss the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) plea, calling it a “resounding slap of justice on the face of the Central Government”.

In a post on X, the Chief Minister said, “The Supreme Court’s historic order dismissing the ED’s appeal to investigate my wife, Mrs Parvathi, in the matter of MUDA site allocation is a resounding slap of justice on the face of the central government”.

“I humbly welcome the order of the Honorable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, B R Gavai, and Justice K  Vinod Chandra. Throughout my long political career, I have always bowed to the Constitution and the law of the land. This belief has been upheld and protected by the Supreme Court’s order”, Siddaramaiah stated.

Accusing the BJP and its allies of misusing central investigative agencies such as ED, CBI, the Karnataka Chief Minister said that the fabricated case had caused “immense harassment and mental distress.”

On Monday, the Supreme Court dismissed a plea filed by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) challenging the Karnataka High Courts’ decision in having set aside the probe against B M Parvathi, wife of CM Siddaramaiah, in connection with the alleged irregularities with regard to illegal land allotments by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).

A bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and K Vinod Chandran refused to entertain the ED’s plea by orally stating “Let political battles be fought amongst the electorate. Why are you (ED) being used for it”. (ANI)
