Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah Faces Prosecution Request

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah may face prosecution as activist T.J. Abraham plans to seek the Governor's consent regarding his involvement in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam. The complaint, filed on July 18, alleges illegal allotment of compensatory sites to CM Siddaramaiah's wife, resulting in a loss of ₹44.64 crore to the state. Abraham cites a precedent from former CM B.S. Yediyurappa's case, where the Governor granted similar consent, leading to Yediyurappa's imprisonment. The complaint implicates several individuals including Siddaramaiah, his family, and former MUDA officials. Additionally, BJP and JD(S) legislators have demanded Siddaramaiah's resignation and a CBI inquiry into the matter, further intensifying political tensions. This situation highlights ongoing concerns regarding corruption within the Karnataka government.
