The Congress party has rallied in support of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah after Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot sanctioned his prosecution in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case, which the party claims is a politically motivated move by the BJP to destabilize the state government. Congress leaders, including Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, met with the party's top brass in Delhi, reaffirming their commitment to challenge the governor's decision in court. The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) passed a resolution backing Siddaramaiah and plans to seek the governor's repatriation. Meanwhile, the Karnataka High Court has deferred further proceedings on the case until August 29, providing temporary relief to Siddaramaiah. Congress leaders argue that the governor acted unconstitutionally and under BJP influence, with the CM vowing to fight the case both legally and politically.
