Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah faces resignation calls over a MUDA site allotment scam; Governor Gehlot grants permission for prosecution, which the Congress party calls "totally illegal."
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah faces calls for his resignation from the BJP over an alleged ₹3,000-4,000 crore MUDA site allotment scam. Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot granted permission for prosecution, while Siddaramaiah denies any wrongdoing and rejects the governor's sanction as "unconstitutional." The Congress party condemns Gehlot's decision as "totally illegal," while the opposition BJP demands Siddaramaiah's resignation. Karnataka's political landscape is shaken with the ruling Congress party accusing the central government of using the Governor's office to destabilize the state's elected government.
