BENGALURU: The Enforcement Directorate’s entry into the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) sites allotment case against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah seems to have brought an element of unpredictability and apprehension in the Congress camp. In an apparent bid to mitigate further risks - and akin to jettisoning the fuel to enable a safe landing - Siddaramaiah’s wife Parvathy BM returned the 14 sites in Mysuru to MUDA, which are at the centre of the controversy. It was done within hours after the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) was registered by the central agency. It is unclear how the MUDA could act with such urgency when the case is still being investigated at the direction of a special court. But, unlike the Hublot controversy that was defused at an early stage, the MUDA case has moved quite far.
