SHIVAMOGGA: Once the court announces its verdict in the MUDA case, such a situation will arise that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will be forced to tender his resignation, said former CM and BJP leader BS Yediyurappa.

“To avoid such a situation, Siddaramaiah should resign with dignity before the court verdict. All the scams that occurred under the Siddaramaiah government will be proved, and he can’t escape at any cost,” he told reporters here on Wednesday.

To a query on the state government’s decision to probe irregularities during the Covid pandemic under the previous BJP government, Yediyurappa said, “It’s their call. The BJP will not put up any fight on the issue.” On notices to four ministers by the governor, he said, “The governor has the powers to serve notice to them. Let us see what the ministers do.”
