Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has moved to the High Court challenging Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot's sanction for his prosecution in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam. The Governor's order, based on complaints of irregularities in land allotment involving Siddaramaiah's wife, has sparked significant controversy, with Siddaramaiah arguing that the sanction was politically motivated and violated constitutional principles. The Karnataka High Court has deferred all related trial court proceedings until further hearings. The BJP has demanded Siddaramaiah's resignation, claiming corruption, while the Congress has planned state-wide protests, accusing the BJP and the Governor of a vendetta to destabilize the government. Siddaramaiah maintains his innocence, stating his actions were legal and expressing confidence in judicial relief.
