CM criticises Guv for seeking reports on 'trivial matters'

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Monday said Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot is writing letters seeking reports on "trivial matters", and the state government was examining them.

Hitting back at the BJP, by questioning their inaction while in power in connection with Justice H S Kempanna Commission's report on the alleged Arkavathy Layout scam, he said the government will take a decision on the report, after considering various aspects in connection with it.

The Governor has written to Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh seeking a copy of the Kempanna Commission's report and other related information into the alleged Arkavathy Layout denotification scam, in which Siddaramaiah was accused of denotifying land during his first term.
