Chamarajanagar: Seeking the resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over the multi-crore Valmiki Development Corporation scam and diversion of funds meant for SC/ST welfare for other purposes, the BJP will be taking out a ‘Bengaluru Chalo’ march tomorrow (July 18).
Addressing a party meeting in this regard at the BJP office in Chamarajanagar yesterday, former Kolar MP Muniswamy accused CM Siddaramaiah of diverting SC/ST welfare funds for other purposes. Maintaining that CM Siddaramaiah is pursuing an Anti-Dalit policy, he alleged a massive scam in Maharshi Valmiki Development Corporation where funds were looted and misused. Asserting that Dalits cannot get their rights and justice as long as Siddaramaiah is at the helm of affairs, Muniswamy questioned the silence of Dalit leaders in the Congress at a time when SC/ST funds are glaringly misused by those in power.
