The Governor could not have directly granted approval, following complainants seeking direction from a special court for order to conduct an investigation against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam, without securing a preliminary report from the investigating agency concerned, it was argued before the High Court of Karnataka on behalf of the State government.
Amidst Chief Minister Siddaramaiah facing legal challenges in the alleged MUDA scam and his Cabinet colleagues publicly throwing their hat into the ring, sensing a possible change in leadership, two members of the Legislative Council have sought disciplinary action against Ministers for speaking out in public.
The BJP is opposing the setting up of the Greater Bengaluru Development Authority since “the city built by Nadaprabhu Kempe Gowda should not be split and should remain reserved for Kannadigas”, said R. Ashok, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Assembly, while participating in a meeting on Monday to discuss the pros and cons of splitting the city into smaller administrative units.
