A Mysuru resident has taken a bold step by petitioning the High Court of Karnataka for a CBI probe against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA site allotment case. The petition, filed by social activist Snehamayi Krishna, highlights concerns about the impartiality of investigations conducted by state authorities, given the Chief Minister’s influence over them.
The case revolves around the allotment of 14 prime sites by Mysuru Development Authority to Siddaramaiah’s wife in exchange for acquired land. The petitioner argues that an independent investigation is crucial to uphold institutional integrity and ensure fairness in the process.
With the state cabinet recently withdrawing consent for CBI investigations in Karnataka, the demand for CBI intervention in this case gains even more significance. The fate of this petition and the potential CBI probe against the Chief Minister will be determined in the coming weeks, sparking public interest and raising questions about accountability in political circles.
