KARNATAKA Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said that the Supreme Court's "historic" order rejecting the Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) appeal to investigate his wife Parvathi BM in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case is a "slap on the face" of the Union Government's "vendetta politics".

"This verdict has not only exposed the malice behind the case but has also unequivocally cleared our names of all the baseless allegations," CM Siddaramaiah wrote on social media platform X.

Welcoming the apex court's decision, Siddaramaiah said that throughout his long political career, he has always bowed before the Constitution and the rule of law.

"This verdict upholds and protects that very belief," he said.
