These documents tell of an altogether different story than what has been stated by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who put forth the stand that his family was ignorant about the acquisition of 3.16 acres in Kesare village, on the outskirts of Mysuru city. Nonetheless, fresh documents have surfaced, which allegedly show that not only did the CM's family know about the same, but his wife Parvathi had rejected the proposed compensation by the MUDA.
Sharing the document on social media X on Friday, Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy lashed out at CM Siddaramaiah for maintaining that his family had no idea about the acquisition of their land by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
"Respected Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, you are claiming that neither you nor your family have played any role in the allocation of land by the MUDA. I believe that you know Kannada and can understand the language. You are a self-proclaimed lawyer, aren't you? Take a minute to go through the records available," he said.
"The wife of CM Siddaramaiah had insisted that MUDA shall allot the land to her on a 50:50 ratio. The record in this regard says, 'It was informed to the applicant, Smt. Parvathamma, that compensation would be provided at market value or land would be allocated on a 40:60 ratio. However, she did not agree to this suggestion by the authority and insisted on getting alternate land.' Now what does CM Siddaramaiah have to say about it?" Kumaraswamy questioned.
"This is what MUDA records say. What do you have to say about this? According to you, is this just a note? An insistence? Or an order? Mr. 'super' CM, what else the MUDA officials could have done when they were 'insisted' upon? At that time where were you? You were sitting in Chief Minister chair on the 3rd floor of Vidhana Soudha. Now tell us, who has the skeletons in their closet?
" Kumaraswamy lashed out.
Meanwhile, one of the petitioners, Snehamayi Krishna, who filed cases over the MUDA case with Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot and also lodged a private complaint in the court against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, has released the document in this regard. Snehamayi Krishna said, "CM Siddaramaiah himself is claiming that MUDA itself has agreed that it was wrong to acquire his family's land and decided to allot parallel land. As per the documents, the decisions of MUDA agreeing it's mistake, deciding to allot parallel land were made when CM Sidharamaiah was the CM". The meeting was chaired by the senior Congress leader and his close associate, the late D.
Dhruvakumar, who was the MUDA Chairman then.
It can be seen that CM Siddaramaiah had influenced his close associate Dhruvakumar, who was the MUDA Chairman then, said Krishna, in detail to the reasons also. This comes days ahead of the scheduled meeting Siddaramaiah has with Rahul and all senior leaders of the party. Sources said he is expected to brief them about the MUDA case and situation in the state.
