A complaint was previously filed by social activist Snehamayi Krishna against Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah and nine others, alleging that they forged documents to claim compensation from the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). Responding to these allegations earlier this month, CM Siddaramaiah stated, “In the MUDA case, everything was done according to the law. I have not exerted any influence on the allotment of the plot. My wife was given a replacement plot in 2021 during the BJP government’s tenure, in accordance with the law.”
The complaint accuses Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvathy, and his brother-in-law Malikarjuna Swamy Devaraj, who claimed to be a landowner, of wrongdoing. It further alleges that MUDA created fake documents to obtain plots worth crores of rupees. Snehamayi Krishna’s complaint raises several questions regarding these transactions.
The BJP has demanded that the land given to the CM’s family be returned, accusing Siddaramaiah of seizing lands that belonged to the Dalit community.
