Despite receiving an unfavourable ruling from the Karnataka High Court regarding the Governor’s approval to sanction prosecution against him, Chief Minister Siddaramiah has the support of his cabinet colleagues, who have stated that there is no need for him to resign.
On Tuesday, Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar stated that the BJP’s “political conspiracy” is the reason why there is no need for resignation.
“There is no question (of resignation) by CM. He has not done anything wrong. He is not involved with any scam. This is a political conspiracy by the BJP to all of us, to all the opposition leaders of the country… so there is no question of why Chief Minister done anything wrong, they are creating problem. We stand by him, we support him. He has been doing a good work for the country, party and state,” he said.
Shivakumar reiterated that there is a “big conspiracy” against the Congress leaders and refuted the Chief Minister’s defeat. He did, however, declare that the party respects the country’s judicial system.
“I am telling you again, there is no setback to the CM. It is a big conspiracy on all our leaders, including me which we have faced earlier. Didn’t I come out clean? So, we will fight it out. We respect the legal system of this country. Injustice will not be flown from the seat of justice. We will get justice,” he remarked.
