Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday ruled out his resignation, following the Governor granting sanction to prosecute him, in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment scam, and said he had done no wrong to step down. Terming Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s decision as “anti-Constitution and against law”, he said. It will be questioned in court and that he will battle it out legally.
“It is a big conspiracy to dislodge the elected government. They (BJP) have done this in several states including Delhi, Jharkhand. A conspiracy has been designed to destabilise the elected government in Karnataka also. The Central government, BJP, JD(S) and others are involved in this conspiracy,” Siddaramaiah told reporters here.
