‘Will Seek Legal Options, Won’t Be Scared Of BJP’: Siddaramaiah Says High Command Backing Him

MUDA Case: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP ) for engaging in “revenge politics” following the High Court’s dismissal of his plea challenging the investigation into the alleged MUDA site allotment case. Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, Siddaramaiah stated, “I will consult with legal experts and the Karnataka Congress on the next steps.”

Siddaramaiah accused the BJP of collaborating with the governor to target him, emphasizing that the people of Karnataka stand by him. 

He labeled the BJP as “anti-poor” and denounced their actions as a “calculated attempt” in conjunction with the Janata Dal (Secular).

“The High Court's verdict was unexpected, and I am yet to fully read the judgment,” he said. 

“We will respond both legally and politically soon.” The CM reiterated, saying, “We will not be scared of the BJP and JD(S) conspiracy or the governor’s office. The people have blessed us, and I have their support.”

Siddaramaiah also highlighted the backing he receives from the Congress high command and party leaders, asserting that they remain united in the face of these challenges.
