BENGALURU/MYSURU: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah 's wife Parvathi Monday offered to surrender 14 sites totalling 38,284sqft allotted to her in an upscale Mysuru locality by Muda as compensation for land in Kesare village, saying her family's reputation is more important than wealth or land.
In a letter addressed to Muda officials, Parvathi announced her decision to return the plots and cancel the deeds executed in her name. "I do not want any wealth, sites, or land. My family's dignity is far more important to me. I have not discussed this with my husband, son, or any other family member," she wrote.
This comes amid allegations of nepotism and corruption against Siddaramaiah, who is accused of influencing Muda to allot 14 sites to his wife instead of two 60x40ft plots she was entitled to in Mysuru for her 3.2 acre land in Kesare. On Sept 27, Lokayukta police filed an FIR against the CM, Parvathi, her brother BM Mallikarjuna Swamy, and two others, following a special court's order on a complaint by RTI activist Snehamayi Krishna.
Parvathi said she never expected the plots, which were given by her brother, to spark such controversy or lead to accusations against her husband. She highlighted Siddaramaiah's impeccable moral record throughout his four-decade-long political career and stressed that her actions have always been guided by a desire to protect his reputation.
