Mysuru: Congress activists celebrated the Supreme Court’s ruling granting relief to chief minister Siddaramaiah’s wife, Parvathi, in the Muda land compensation case.The celebrations included special pujas at the 101 Ganapati Temple, where workers held portraits of Siddaramaiah and Parvathi, offered prayers, and chanted “Satyameva Jayate.” They distributed sweets as a mark of celebration.Former Muda chairman HV Rajeev, who led the special pujas at the 101 Ganapati Temple, said that the high court and Supreme Court upheld the legality of Parvathi’s land compensation under the 2014 Transparency Land Act. He accused the BJP of orchestrating a conspiracy through the ED, calling the verdict a major setback for their “political drama.” Rajeev demanded an apology from BJP’s national and state leadership.In another celebration, sweets were distributed to the public outside the Lokayukta police office, with activists holding posters hailing the verdict as a victory for truth. The party’s Mysuru district unit president BJ Vijayakumar and KPCC spokesperson M Lakshmana led the celebrations. Participating in the celebrations, Karnataka Exhibition Authority chairman Ayub Khan said the verdict has strengthened Siddaramaiah’s hand.Legislative council member D Thimmaiah said the Lokayukta police already cleared Parvathi of any wrongdoing, and the Supreme Court’s ruling exposed baseless, politically motivated allegations. He emphasised that Siddaramaiah exerted no influence in the Muda case, and the compensation followed standard procedures. Thimmaiah called for accountability for those who caused Parvathi mental distress.During the celebrations near the Lokayukta police office, former legislative council member Go Madhusudan of BJP was passing by and was offered sweets by Congress workers. He playfully shouted “Super Jai” for Siddaramaiah. “I know all those who came offering sweets to me. It was not the time for argument,” he said.
