Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been named as the primary accused in an alleged scam in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA). The FIR was filed by the Lokayukta police following a court order, and named Siddaramaiah's wife and another individual as secondary accused. This comes after the Karnataka Governor initiated an investigation against the CM for alleged irregularities in land allotment. Siddaramaiah has denied any wrongdoing and refuses to step down from his position.
The Karnataka BJP President, B.Y. Vijayendra, calls for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's resignation over the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case. Despite the High Court's verdict against him, CM Siddaramaiah continues to claim innocence. Vijayendra points out that the court's ruling clearly states CM Siddaramaiah's involvement in the alleged corruption, yet he insists on remaining in office. The BJP's earlier foot march in protest to the MUDA case resulted in the Governor's approval for prosecution, solidifying the party's stance against the CM.
Amid calls for his resignation, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah reiterated that he will not step down as he denied any involvement in the MUDA site allotment 'scam'. The Special Court ordered a probe by the Lokayukta police in Mysuru against Siddaramaiah, setting the stage for an FIR to be registered against him. Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar also dismissed the possibility of Siddaramaiah resigning, calling the accusations a "political conspiracy" by the BJP and JD(S).
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) in Karnataka have intensified their agitation for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's resignation, following a Special Court's order for an investigation into his alleged involvement in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam case. Leaders from both parties gathered to stage protests and demand the CM's resignation, citing the High Court's approval for the investigation and a special MLA/MP court's order to file an FIR. The JD-S has warned of further agitation if Siddaramaiah does not step down immediately.

The Karnataka High Court has ordered the special court for people's representatives to defer its proceedings against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in an alleged land allotment scam until August 29.
