BJP Demands Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah's Resignation Amid MUDA Land Allotment Scandal

The BJP has called for Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's resignation following a letter from his wife, Parvathi, expressing willingness to return 14 allocated sites in Mysuru amid allegations of illegalities. This comes after the Karnataka Lokayukta police registered a case against Siddaramaiah, leading to an ED investigation into money laundering linked to the land allotment case.

The BJP on Monday termed Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi's letter to the MUDA Commissioner as an ''admission of guilt'' and demanded the Karnataka chief minister's resignation.

Parvathi wrote to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) Commissioner expressing her willingness to return the 14 sites in the Mysuru upmarket following allegations of illegalities in their allotment.

''This letter is an admission of guilt. Instead of sending his (Siddaramaiah) resignation letter, a redemption letter is being written,'' BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said.
