Bengaluru: In a significant blow to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the Karnataka High Court on Tuesday dismissed his petition challenging Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot’s decision to approve his prosecution in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case. The ruling casts a shadow on Siddaramaiah’s political future, as the initiation of prosecution puts him in a difficult position both morally and politically.
With the legal proceedings now set to begin, Siddaramaiah faces mounting pressure to resign from office. While he retains the option to appeal the decision in the Supreme Court, the looming question is how the Congress high command will respond to the crisis. Their stance could heavily influence the next steps in this unfolding political drama.
Further complicating matters for Siddaramaiah is the timing of the Supreme Court’s upcoming vacation, which could delay any immediate relief and extend the period of uncertainty for his leadership. The road ahead looks increasingly challenging for the Karnataka Chief Minister as he navigates this legal and political storm.
