CHIEF Minister Siddaramaiah has hit back at BJP and JDS leaders over the allegation of tampering with a letter submitted by his wife to MUDA officials seeking alternative sites for acquiring a piece of land owned by her for formation of a residential layout in Mysuru.
In a statement, Siddaramaiah accused the BJP and JDS leaders of politicising the issue and defaming his family. Their allegation is baseless, he said.
"The BJP and JDS leaders are crying hoarse as if it is a big crime to use whitener to mask four or five words in the letter submitted to the MUDA by my wife," he said.
"The words concealed are clearly visible in this video.
The BJP and JDS leaders should see it properly to find the truth," the CM said.
