Joshi: Prove your innocence in Muda issue first, then host meet

Hubballi: Union minister Pralhad Joshi challenged CM Siddaramaiah to prove his innocence in the Muda scam and then to hold the Ahinda convention.
Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Joshi also questioned why Mysuru DC was transferred if the chief minister’s family was not involved in the scam. “Siddaramaiah is using communities for his political gains.However, the Muda scam of Rs 4,000 crore has taken place with the consent of him and his son. It occurred between 2014 to 2018. He should hand over the case to CBI if he is a real Lohia follower or socialist,” he lashed out.
He mentioned that Mysuru DC had written 15 letters, citing land acquirement by Siddaramaiah and his son, in a year. He also alleged that the CM is directly involved in the Valmiki Corporation scam and is trying to patch up the case. He also said that the govt has no money for development works and all guarantees are bogus. TNN
