The BJP mocked the Lokayukta for giving a clean chit to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA case, calling the institution a ‘clean chit guarantee machine’.
The Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashok took to X and said, “The Lokayukta investigation into MUDA land scam was an investigation of Siddaramaiah, by Siddaramaiah and for Siddaramaiah.”
He further said that Congress Ministers and MLAs had given a clean chit to the Chief Minister and his wife even before the investigation had begun. “So it is no surprise that the Lokayukta police has now submitted a B report, giving a clean chit to CM and his wife. The people of Karnataka did not expect that the Lokayukta investigation will bring justice in this case.”
He said, however that the Chief Minister’s “desperate efforts to bury the truth and jeopardise the justice” will not succeed.
