BJP's J P Nadda Criticizes Congress: Siddaramaiah Faces Prosecution Over MUDA Scam

BJP President J P Nadda has accused the Congress of hypocrisy and corruption in relation to the MUDA scam, where Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife allegedly received valuable compensatory sites. Nadda claims this is another example of the Congress' family-centric politics. Despite the Karnataka governor's sanction for prosecution, Siddaramaiah denies wrongdoing and plans to fight legally.

BJP President J P Nadda on Saturday intensified his criticism against the Congress, alleging hypocrisy and family-centric politics in the wake of the MUDA scam.

The controversy revolves around Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi, who allegedly acquired compensatory sites in an affluent Mysuru area.

In a social media post, Nadda labeled the Congress as consistently corrupt, citing their purported history with such cases. He also condemned the Congress' stance on Dalit and minority issues.

Despite Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot sanctioning Siddaramaiah's prosecution, protests erupted, and Siddaramaiah insists he did nothing wrong and will legally combat the allegations.
