Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah

It was clarified by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday that his resignation from his post will not be given on the basis of 'false allegations' of the opposition. It was said by him that the true situation will be presented before the people of the state.

While talking to reporters, it was said by Siddaramaiah that if my resignation is demanded by the opposition parties on the basis of false allegations, should my resignation be given? These allegations will be answered and the truth will be told to the people.

After the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land allotment case, meetings of Dalit and Scheduled Tribe leaders are being held inside the Congress party. When reporters asked him why these activities were taking place, it was replied by Siddaramaiah that unnecessary speculations were being made by people.

"Discussions will be held by ministers, but should speculation be made? When Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge is met by Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi, speculation is made by people. Such meetings have been taking place in the past too, but why are such speculations being made now?", added CM.

Support for G.T. Deve Gowda was expressed by Siddaramaiah, saying only the truth has been told by him. "The truth has been told", says CM. What is wrong in it? Deve Gowda is the chairman of the JD(S) core committee and also a member of Muda."

Following the order of the special court, an ECIR was filed by the Lokayukta police against Siddaramaiah, his wife Parvati, and others on September 27. The order from the special court was issued at a time when the sanction of investigation by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot against Siddaramaiah was upheld by the High Court.

An ECIR has also been filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Siddaramaiah for alleged irregularities in the allotment of 14 plots. On Tuesday, a decision was made by MUDA to take back 14 plots that were allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife.
