Ministers in the Siddaramaiah Cabinet in Karnataka on Thursday, 1 August, took exception to Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot issuing a “show-cause notice” to the Chief Minister asking him to explain why prosecution sanction must not be accorded in connection with the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) site allotment ‘scam.’
Forest Minister Eshwar Khandre saw it as a “conspiracy to topple a democratically elected government.” “We will wage a legal and political battle”, he said.
“We will take it legally,” Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Priyank Kharge told reporters.
Kharge said the notice had been served “without any information and without seeking clarification.”
