MUDA ‘scam’: Opposition to consider options of approaching President and waging legal battle

The Hindu  

Buoyed by the response to their Mysuru Chalo padayatra as it entered Mysuru on Friday, the leaders of the Opposition coalition declared that they would take the fight against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on alleged irregularities to the logical end, and also consider the options of approaching the President and waging a legal battle. Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashok told The Hindu on the sidelines of the padayatra that they would consider the option of petitioning President Droupadi Murmu against alleged irregularities involving the Chief Minister after consulting JD leader and Union Minister H.D. Mr. Ashok said, however, they would wait to know Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s next move on the show-cause notice served on the Chief Minister in the MUDA case. “Everyone knows that it is Mr. Shivakumar who has taken up the issue against Mr. Siddaramaiah with the Congress high command as he is an aspirant for the Chief Minister’s chair,” he alleged.
