BENGALURU:

Krishna had previously approached the Karnataka high court, urging a CBI probe into allegations concerning a land allotment to the chief minister's wife, BM Parvathi. However, the high court dismissed his plea and upheld the ongoing inquiry by the Lokayukta.

Addressing the media, Krishna clarified his stance, saying, "It is fair that many of you have been questioning me about approaching the Supreme Court to transfer the Muda case to the CBI." He added, "After reading the high court's verdict, I spent two days reviewing the evidence in my possession, consulting with some close legal experts and well-wishers, and reflecting on my past legal battles before arriving at a decision."
