Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah remained resolute on Friday despite mounting calls for his resignation. The senior Congress leader, addressing the issue publicly for the first time, stated that the law would take its course amid an Enforcement Directorate (ED) raid at the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) office.
“What can I do if the ED raids MUDA? Whatever happens according to the law, will happen,” Siddaramaiah told reporters.
The ED conducted the searches on Friday as part of a money laundering investigation involving MUDA. According to PTI reports, the case includes the Karnataka Chief Minister, his family members and others.
Raids took place at the MUDA office in Mysuru and other locations, supported by personnel from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). However, sources clarified that the searches did not extend to the residences of the chief minister or his family.
ED officials are currently reviewing MUDA documents at the Mysuru office, with local authorities present, and may seize relevant documents as part of the investigation.
