Bengaluru: Even as Chief Minister Siddaramaiah was issued a show-cause notice by Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot in connection with the multi-crore MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) site scam, the Congress High Command has resolved to support Siddaramaiah on the issue.
The backing follows a meeting in the State capital Bengaluru on Sunday between AICC General Secretaries K.C. Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala with CM Siddaramaiah and his Council of Ministers to take stock of the allegations that the CM indulged in corruption to ensure his wife Parvathi acquired sites via MUDA and to thwart political manoeuvring on the issue by the Opposition BJP-JD(S) combine.
