Belagavi, October 4 (IANS). Speaking to reporters on Friday in Belagavi, Karnataka, MP Jagadish Shettar made serious allegations against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
Shettar said that when the Governor demanded an investigation into the matter, the Chief Minister challenged the Governor’s order. But, the High Court upheld the Governor’s order. Shettar said that an FIR has been registered and the investigation is going to start soon.
He requested the Chief Minister to resign from the post of Chief Minister until the investigation is completed. He alleged that Siddaramaiah has started the Dussehra program with the aim of reducing public confidence in the government. He said that the issue of misuse of ED by the Central Government was raised which is not right.
MP Shettar further said that we are already demanding that the investigation of Muda scam be handed over to CBI and are still saying the same. He asked Siddaramaiah to resign and face investigation.
It is noteworthy that in 2009, a scheme was implemented in Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) of Karnataka for the people who lost their land during development plans. Under this scheme, it was talked about giving 50 percent of the developed land to the people who lost their land. For this reason, this scheme later became famous by the name of 50:50.
This scheme was postponed by the BJP government in 2020. It is alleged that 3 acres and 16 guntas of land belonging to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s wife was acquired for the development program of this Muda, but without acquiring this land, the third phase of Devanur Development Plan was developed.
