Scandal Showdown: Karnataka Assembly Erupts As BJP Targets Siddaramaiah Government

The political landscape in Karnataka is ablaze with accusations against the Siddaramaiah government, led by the Congress party. Amidst allegations of corruption, BJP MLAs recently staged an overnight protest within the assembly. The spotlight has intensified on various scandals, including the alleged Muda scam involving land allotment to CM Siddaramaiah's wife and the Vlamiki corporation scam, which diverted funds intended for SC/ST development. In response to these allegations, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and BJP leaders have vocally criticized the Congress government. Meanwhile, Congress leaders like HK Patil have dismissed these claims as baseless. In a retaliatory move, the Siddaramaiah government has initiated a criminal investigation into the alleged Bhovi development corporation scam, which reportedly occurred under previous BJP administration. The Bhovi development corporation scandal revolves around discrepancies in loan disbursements, where beneficiaries allegedly received significantly less than promised, with some accounts linked to private companies identified by the Karnataka CID. The investigation has already resulted in arrests and multiple FIRs. The political tension is set to escalate further, with the BJP planning a 150-kilometer padyatra from Bengaluru to Mysuru, countered by the Congress's planned yatra from Mysuru to Bengaluru. As accusations and counter-accusations fly, Karnataka braces for heightened political drama over these alleged scams.
