Bengaluru: Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday alleged that state governor had become a \u201cpuppet\u201d in the hands of the central government, and granting prosecution sanction against him is a sinister conspiracy to destabilise an elected government.<\/p>\n
His remarks came after governor Thaawarchand Gehlot granted permission to prosecute him based on a petition filed by advocate-activist T J Abraham, who alleged irregularities in the allotment of sites by MUDA.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Honorable Governor has become a puppet in the hands of the Central Government, granting prosecution sanction against me is nothing but a sinister conspiracy to destabilize an elected government. This is a direct threat to democracy!\u201d Siddaramaiah wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
The Governor\u2019s decision came despite the state cabinet\u2019s earlier advice to withdraw the show-cause notice issued to Siddaramaiah and to reject the petition seeking prosecution sanction.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Governor has been reduced to a political weapon by the BJP. They lack any moral right to demand my resignation. The BJP cannot stomach the success of our @INCKarnataka government and the Guarantee schemes that are benefiting the common people. We stand strong and united against this political vendetta!\u201d the chief minister added.<\/p>\n
He also said that there is no case against him, and the Governor\u2019s decision was \u201cunconstitutional.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will challenge this illegal sanction in the court of law. From the very day the complaint was filed against me, a show-cause notice was issued. This move by the Governor was anticipated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Siddaramaiah also claimed that a grand conspiracy has been hatched to undermine Congress government and the BJP and JD(S) leaders in the state are all allegedly part of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust as they did in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Delhi, they are now attempting to execute their plans in Karnataka. We will not let this pass!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
