Karnataka CM Faces Calls for Resignation Amid MUDA Land Allotment Controversy

Opposition demands CBI probe as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife returns disputed plots, raising questions over alleged misuse of office.

HD Kumaraswamy, a Union Minister and former Karnataka Chief Minister, demands Siddaramaiah's resignation and a CBI investigation into the MUDA land allotment case.
The controversy centers on 14 plots of land allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife, B.M. Parvathi, which were returned to the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) amid ongoing investigations.
Opposition parties, including the BJP and Janata Dal Secular, claim the return of the plots suggests wrongdoing and accuse the government of protecting Siddaramaiah.
The Enforcement Directorate has filed a money laundering case linked to the alleged illegalities in the land allotment, prompting further scrutiny.
Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara defends the decision to return the plots and asserts that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will not resign despite mounting pressure.
