BJP leader B S Yediyurappa has called for Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to resign 'respectfully' ahead of an impending court verdict regarding the Governor's sanction to prosecute him over alleged irregularities in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case. Yediyurappa stated that Siddaramaiah will inevitably have to resign once the court delivers its decision, asserting that he cannot escape the accusations of corruption. The Karnataka High Court has extended an interim stay on proceedings against Siddaramaiah until September 9, while the Chief Minister has challenged the legality of the Governor's prosecution sanction. Additionally, R Ashoka, Leader of Opposition, suggested that the government's suspension of a former MUDA commissioner indicates an admission of wrongdoing in the site allotments to Siddaramaiah's wife. The ongoing political tensions are compounded by past allegations of Covid-19 management irregularities during Yediyurappa's tenure, which may lead to further legal actions. Both Yediyurappa and Ashoka emphasize the need for accountability and legal compliance within the state's political framework.
