Cabinet Denounces Governor's Show-Cause Notice in MUDA Site Allotment Controversy

The Siddaramaiah Cabinet criticized Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot's show-cause notice to the Chief Minister regarding the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam. Ministers termed it a conspiracy and vowed to wage a legal and political battle. The notice was issued without prior information or clarification.

The Siddaramaiah Cabinet on Thursday lashed out at Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot for issuing a show-cause notice to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The notice demands an explanation as to why prosecution sanction should not be granted in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam.

Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre called it a 'conspiracy to topple a democratically elected government,' pledging to fight the matter both legally and politically. His sentiments were echoed by Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge, who criticized the notice for being served without any prior information or clarification.

The move by the Governor has stirred significant political controversy, with the Cabinet preparing for an elaborate legal and political counteraction.
