Warning…: “We will expose politicians if targeted in MUDA scam”

Mysuru: The ongoing land allotment scam involving the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) has placed Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in a tight spot, particularly as it unravelled in his home district. This controversy resulted in the resignation of MUDA Chairman K. Marigowda yesterday.
Despite creating a situation that has cornered the Chief Minister and tarnished the State’s reputation at the national level, no action has been taken yet against former MUDA Commissioners G.T. Dinesh Kumar and Dr. D.B. Natesh, even amid the uproar.
Confidential sources within Vidhana Soudha revealed to Star of Mysore that action against the two KAS officers was imminent as soon as the scam broke out. However, sensing the impending consequences, Dinesh Kumar and Natesh staged a dharna in front of Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh two months ago.
They issued a stark warning, threatening to expose politicians involved if any action were taken against them. Sources indicated that they have already prepared a detailed dossier on the politicians’ land dealings. If they face repercussions, they claim they would have no choice but to present this evidence to the appropriate authorities and take drastic measures including self-harm, according to sources.
