Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai should tender resignation to the post for his failure to maintain law and order in the State and not providing impartial governance, said Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Legislative Council B.K. Hariprasad on Sunday. If Mr. Bommai fails to resign, Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot should dismiss the Bommai government and impose President’s rule, he said.s
Talking to reporters, Mr. Hariprasad said that as elections were nearing in the State, the BJP has gone back to its old practice of creating unrest. The three murders in Dakshina Kannada are part of this ploy and BJP is gaining political mileage out of these murders.
While Mr. Bommai visited the house of slain BJP Yuva Morcha activist Praveen Nettaru and gave away compensation of Rs.25 lakh before handing over the case to the National Investigation Agency, he did not do the same in relation to murders of 18-year-old Masood and 22-year-old Mohammed Fazil. Such a differentiation in action is not acceptable from Chief Minister, who has taken oath under the Constitution to govern in an impartial way.
