Bengaluru: In granting consent to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah over an alleged scam involving the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA), Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot stated he is prima facie ‘satisfied’ that the allegations and supporting evidence suggest the commission of offenses.
The Governor criticised the Council of Ministers’ decision as ‘irrational’ after they advised him to withdraw his show cause notice to the CM and reject the application for prosecution sanction.
