The Karnataka Congress organized a 'Raj Bhavan Chalo' protest march on August 31, 2024, led by Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, to condemn Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot's consent to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam. The Congress leaders criticized the Governor for allegedly misusing his office to destabilize the elected government, emphasizing the need for fairness in pending prosecution petitions against various political figures. Shivakumar stated that the protest aimed to protect the sanctity of the Governor's constitutional role and not specifically to support Siddaramaiah, as the matter is in court. The protest involved Congress MLAs, MPs, and ministers who raised slogans against the Governor and submitted a memorandum upon reaching Raj Bhavan. This escalating conflict highlights tensions between the Karnataka Congress and the Governor's office amid allegations of political bias in prosecutorial decisions. The Chief Minister's wife is also implicated in the ongoing investigation related to the MUDA case.
