The Opposition BJP began its two-day protest on Monday demanding resignation of Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar linking them with corruption in the backdrop of the recent I-T raids on a contractor that unearthed a huge haul of money.
Meanwhile, Mr. Siddaramaiah dismissed BJP’s allegations as “politically motivated” and “baseless.” When attempts are made to “politically link” the money found during the raid by Income Tax Department, it is a “political statement and baseless allegation”, he told reporters in Mysuru.
The BJP activists staged dharna in front of the Deputy Commissioners’ offices in various district centres demanding an end to the alleged corruption.
