“Satyameva Jayate!! It is welcome that the High Court has given permission for the prosecution against the CM Siddaramiah who had illegally grabbed the Dalits’ land and made the sites that should have belonged to the poor in his name. Congress leaders resorted to low-level politics to cover up their universe of corruption. But the court upheld the Governor’s move and reiterated that corruption has no place in India. If Siddaramaiah has any respect for the law of this land, for the constitution, for the court, he should not continue his corruption and bow down to the court’s decision and resign from the post of CM immediately,” the BJP state unit posted on X.
