Siddaramaiah confident over Governor rejecting pleas seeking his prosecution in MUDA scam

New Indian Express  

MYSURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday said that he is confident that Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot will go by the advice of the Council of Ministers and reject the petition seeking sanction for prosecution against him in connection with the alleged site allotment scam in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority. Siddaramaiah said that it was wrong to compare the MUDA issue with former CM BS Yediyurappa’s land denotification case. On Karnataka Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh meeting the Governor, Siddaramaiah said that it was a courtesy call as she could not meet him after assuming office since he was away in Delhi. “Though I have not done anything wrong, they have taken up the MUDA issue to destabilise the State Government that is catering to the poor and implementing the five guarantee schemes,” Siddaramaiah said.
