The Congress has made it clear that Siddaramiah will not step down as CM. But there is pressure from within and from the opposition calling for his resignation.
The Karnataka Governor’s nod to prosecute chief minister Siddaramaiah in the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) land scam has deepened the fissures within the Congress party.
What pushes the Congress further into disarray is the party’s inability to counter the opposition’s repeated attempts to target the government’s poor governance record.
