The ruling Congress in Karnataka has given a call for ‘Raj Bhavan Chalo’ on August 31 to apprise Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot about him sanctioning an ‘illegal order’ to prosecute Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority site allotment ‘scam’.

 

The party will also stage agitation at the district level, Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara told reporters on Friday.

 

“Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who is also the party state president have decided to organise the ‘Raj Bhavan Chalo’ programme,” he said.

 

The MPs, MLAs and the MLCs will take part in the agitation, he added.

 

Explaining the circumstances behind conducting the event, Parameshwara said the Cabinet has already taken a decision that the permission granted to investigate and prosecute the chief minister in the alleged Mysuru Urban Development Authority site allotment ‘scam’ was illegal.

 

“We gave a lot of evidence to the Governor, but he didn’t take them into account. So we went to court. We don’t know what the court will decide, but we have to inform the Governor as well,” the minister said.

 

Since the issue has taken a political turn, the Congress workers will stage demonstrations on Saturday, he said.

 

“We will fight in the court, street and persuade the Governor,” Parameshwara said.

 

Meanwhile, speaking to reporters here, Deputy CM Shivakumar, said he had sought an appointment with the Governor on Saturday.

 

According to the Congress sources, the CM, Deputy CM, and some ministers would meet Gehlot and apprise him about pending Bills, and request him to permit the prosecution of three former ministers in the BJP government.
