Ready to fight legally and politically on Guv's possible nod for prosecution: CM Siddaramaiah

Belagavi: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said that the Congress government led by him is ready to fight legally and politically, in case Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot rejects the Cabinet’s advice to withdraw the “show-cause notice” to him in connection with the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment ‘scam’, and grants permission for prosecution.

Speaking to reporters here, he said, “We have said that the show-cause notice has to be withdrawn. Also, we have asked for the petition by T J Abraham (activist) seeking permission for prosecution to be rejected. Let’s see what decision the Governor takes. He has not made a decision yet.”

“We are ready to fight legally…both legally and politically we will fight,” he said.
