Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah questions ED slapping money-laundering case against him in MUDA ”scam”
PTI, Oct 1, 2024, 2:29 PM IST
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Tuesday questioned the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) slapping a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case against him, maintaining that the MUDA issue does not attract its provisions.
“I don’t know on what grounds it’s a money laundering case. Probably you too feel the same. According to me, it does not attract the money laundering case because compensatory sites were given. So, how is it a money laundering case?” Siddaramaiah told reporters here. On Monday, the ED registered an Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR), equivalent to an FIR by police, against the Chief Minister over the alleged irregularities in allotment of 14 sites to his wife by the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority). The ED has invoked relevant sections of the PMLA against the Chief Minister and others in the ECIR.
The Chief Minister also ruled out the possibility of his resignation over the MUDA case.
“I work with conscience. So there is no need for me to resign,” he said.
