The MUDA scam allegations, which have sparked significant political controversy in Karnataka, center on accusations of irregularities in land allotments by MUDA. It is claimed that Parvathi Siddaramaiah, the wife of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, benefited from these irregularities.

In 2021, MUDA acquired Parvathi Siddaramaiah’s 3-acre plot in Kesare village, Mysuru, for development purposes. In exchange, she was allocated plots in the upscale Vijayanagar area of south Mysuru. According to the allegations, the market value of the Vijayanagar plots is substantially higher than that of her original land in Kesare.
