CM Siddaramaiah influenced Lokayukta investigation: BJP
“Lokayukta Police lack credibility; will a common man be treated the same lenient way?”
Mysuru: BJP State Spokesperson M.G. Mahesh has accused Chief Minister Siddaramaiah of exerting undue influence over the Lokayukta, alleging that the investigation into his misuse of power in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) 50:50 sites scam is compromised.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP Office in city yesterday, Mahesh questioned why Siddaramaiah, despite being the primary accused (A1) in a Lokayukta case has not been arrested.
“Siddaramaiah’s wife benefited from MUDA sites which the family got through his political influence. Though Siddaramaiah did not apply for anticipatory bail, he was not arrested. He very well knew that Lokayukta would not arrest him,” Mahesh charged.
Mahesh claimed that multiple charges have been filed against Siddaramaiah for abuse of power, yet no action has been taken, allowing him to ‘roam freely.’
