Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday reiterated his readiness to face an investigation in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case.

Reacting to a Special Court's order for a Lokayukta police investigation against him, the Chief Minister maintained his confidence, stating he was not afraid of a probe.

"I am prepared for a legal fight. I have already said that I am ready to face an investigation," Siddaramaiah told reporters. The case has been referred to the Mysuru Lokayukta police by the Special Court, following a complaint regarding MUDA's allotment of 14 sites to his wife, B M Parvathi. The order from Judge Santhosh Gajanan Bhat came after the High Court upheld the Governor's sanction for a probe.
