Bengaluru: BJP State Unit has submitted a memorandum to Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot to seek the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over the allegation of embezzlement of funds in Karnataka Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Welfare Development Corporation Ltd.
In the memorandum submitted by a delegation of BJP leaders including State BJP President B.Y. Vijayendra and Opposition Leader in Legislative Assembly R. Ashoka, who went to Raj Bhavan in a rally from Vidhana Soudha on Thursday, they have contended that, the parking of funds to the tune of Rs. 187.33 crore in bogus accounts was not possible without coming to the notice of the CM who also holds Finance portfolio.
