Taking exception to the prime minister referring to the MUDA scam during the election rallies in Haryana, Siddaramaiah has hit out at the former accusing him of remaining silent over corruption in this party.
Asked about the BJP demanding his resignation after Lokayukta police registering an FIR, Siddaramaiah pointed out that the court has directed to register an FIR against Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and others. Will the prime minister and the BJP demand her resignation, he asked.
Asked about Union Minister for Heavy Industries and Steel H D Kumaraswamy's allegations, Siddaramaiah said the JDS leader has made a bundle of lies.
Meanwhile, Urban Development Minister Byrathi Suresh said opposition parties don't have the moral right to demand the chief minister's resignation. The chief minister must not be blamed for the MUDA scam as the process started long back, he added.
