NDTV
The alleged MUDA scam focuses on the value of land allotted to the Chief Minister's wife, Parvathi, in an upmarket area of Mysuru as compensation for land elsewhere taken for infra development.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah - facing prosecution over alleged irregularities in allotment of land by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority, and the opposition BJP's demands that he resign - said Monday he had not done anything wrong in his political career spanning four decades.
The senior Congress leader declared he had been a Chief Minister and a Minister over the course of his career and had "never misused power for personal gains". He also dismissed protests by the BJP, saying, "In politics it is natural that parties will protest... so let them protest, I am clean."
"I have full faith in the judicial system... a petition (has been) filed and it is coming up for hearing... I am sure of interim relief and quashing of the prosecution sanctioned by the Governor," he said.
