Mysuru: K. Marigowda, who resigned as Chairman of the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) this morning, has reportedly told his friends and close associates that he had no involvement in the MUDA scam and that his actions were aimed at addressing the irregularities within the organisation.
“I got into trouble because, as Chairman, I wrote letters to then MUDA Commissioner G.T. Dinesh Kumar, asking him to stop MUDA’s losses caused by the arbitrary approval of sites in a 50:50 ratio, which was done without the knowledge of either the MUDA Chairman or the Board. If I hadn’t taken that step, this scam would never have come to light, and the flow of illegal money would have continued,” Marigowda confided to his inner circle.
