Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah recently responded to opposition allegations concerning his supposed involvement in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam. In a firm statement, he denied any wrongdoing and reaffirmed his commitment to honest politics.

Opposition parties, including the BJP and JD(S), have accused Siddaramaiah of being linked to a land scam, claiming misconduct during his tenure. In light of these allegations, the Chief Minister clarified that he currently resides in a rented house and has minimal property ownership. He noted that his only home is still under construction on Kuvempu Road in Mysore, and despite being in progress for three years, it has yet to be completed.

Siddaramaiah emphasized that these accusations are part of a larger campaign aimed at undermining his reputation, particularly as he comes from a backward class background and has successfully served as Chief Minister for a second term. He expressed confidence that the ongoing investigations by the Lokayukta and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will ultimately reveal the truth about the allegations against him.

By addressing these claims head-on, Siddaramaiah seeks to reassure his supporters and maintain transparency in his administration as he navigates through the political turmoil.
