Shivamogga BJP demands Siddaramaiah's resignation over corruption allegations, staging protest against Congress government in front of DC office.
Shivamogga district unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest in Shivamogga on Thursday demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.
The party workers assembled in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office. They carried placards criticising the Congress government. They raised slogans accusing the Congress government of being involved in corruption.
Member of Parliament B.Y. Raghavendra, addressing the gathering, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s family got sites sanctioned by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority for violating the laws. “Chief Minister Siddaramaiah should resign immediately and face the inquiry in the case,” he said.
The protesters also took exception to the Congress party’s protests against Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot for giving his approval for prosecution against the Chief Minister.
Legislators S.N. Channabasappa, Dhananjay Sarji and others led the protest.
