Bengaluru: The Karnataka Council of Ministers, led by Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar, decided on Thursday to “strongly advise the Governor to withdraw the (show-cause) notice” and reject the application filed by activist T.J. Abraham against CM Siddaramaiah regarding Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) scam.
The decision followed a marathon meeting of the Council lasting over four hours. Speaking to reporters, Deputy CM D.K. Shivakumar described the show-cause notice as “political” and driven by mala fide intentions. “We are confident that the Governor will be sensible as we have sent a detailed reply,” he said, adding that the notice violated several legal precedents.
