Q. MUDA scam, recently seen in the news, is associated with which state?
Answer: Karnataka
Notes: MUDA is being investigated for possible unfair practices in compensating for acquired private land. Allegations surfaced that Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi, received 14 plots in a prime area, raising legal and fairness concerns. MUDA, established in 1904, manages urban planning in Mysuru and has faced legal issues due to incomplete land acquisitions. Financial problems and lawsuits have made it difficult for MUDA to compensate landowners properly. In 2020, MUDA introduced a 50:50 ratio scheme, giving half the developed land back to original owners to address compensation challenges.
