Bengaluru: In a major political and administrative development this morning, Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has granted permission to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) 50:50 site allotment scam.
The latest development indicates that the Congress Government is set for a standoff with the Governor. The Governor’s move follows a petition filed on July 26 by social activist and advocate T.J. Abraham, who sought the Governor’s sanction to prosecute CM Siddaramaiah in a case related to land allotted to Siddaramaiah’s wife, B.M. Parvathi. The Governor issued a show-cause notice to Siddaramaiah
