Bengaluru: Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot on Saturday approved the prosecution of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over allegations related to a site allotment controversy involving the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), according to official sources, news agency PTI reported.<\/p>\n
The governor\u2019s decision follows three petitions filed by individuals T J Abraham, Pradeep, and Snehamayi Krishna.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor has granted sanction for prosecution against the Chief Minister. It is based on three petitions filed by T J Abraham, one Pradeep and Snehamayi Krishna,\u201d an official from the Raj Bhavan told the agency.<\/p>\n
Earlier, on July 26, Governor Gehlot had issued a \u201cshow-cause notice\u201d to CM Siddaramaiah, asking him to respond within seven days why he should not face prosecution. In response, the Karnataka cabinet had \u201cstrongly recommended\u201d that the governor retract the notice issued to the chief minister, accusing him of misusing his constitutional role.<\/p>\n
The MUDA scam involves exchanging valuable land in a prime area for less desirable land in a remote part of the city. Opposition parties claim the scam is worth \u20b93,000 crore and involves Chief Minister Siddaramaiah\u2019s wife, Parvathi, as a beneficiary.<\/p>\n
Siddaramaiah has denied the allegations, asserting that MUDA illegally developed a layout on four acres of land owned by his wife in Kesarur, Mysuru, without proper acquisition.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the BJP and JD(S) recently completed their week-long protest march earlier this month, calling for CM Siddaramaiah to resign over the alleged corruption charges in the \u201cscam\u201d case. The march, ending with a large rally, aimed to spotlight claims that MUDA fraudulently allotted sites, including to Siddaramaiah\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
