The Karnataka government has decided to withdraw its general consent for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate cases within the state. This decision comes after a special court ordered a Lokayukta police probe against former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in a land allotment case. The government alleges misuse of the CBI and a lack of progress in investigations.
The BJP in Karnataka has intensified its calls for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s resignation after a special court ordered a Lokayukta police probe against him in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment case. The party alleges a ‘MUDA scam’ and wants the investigation handed over to the CBI. The Opposition parties, including JD(S), are planning protests demanding the CM’s resignation.
