BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has demanded a public apology from the BJP and JD(S) after the Supreme Court upheld the Karnataka High Court verdict quashing the ED notice in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case.
He said on Monday, "If the BJP and JD(S) leaders in the state, who have been continuously making baseless allegations against me and my family in the MUDA case, still retain even a shred of dignity and self-respect, they must immediately offer a public apology for their misdeeds."
"The Supreme Court’s historic order dismissing the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) appeal seeking to investigate my wife, B.M. Parvathi, in connection with the MUDA site allotment case is a resounding blow of justice to the Central government. I humbly welcome the judgment delivered by the Chief Justice of India, Justice B.R. Gavai, and Justice K. Vinod Chandran. Throughout my long political career, I have always bowed before the Constitution and the law of the land. The Supreme Court has upheld and protected this belief through its verdict, " CM said.
