Bengaluru, Feb 1 : Outrightly rejecting the demand by opposition Congress, the Karnataka government on Monday declared that the probe into the blast in Shivamogga district that killed six people would be conducted by the revenue commissioner.
Taking umbrage over this decision, senior Congress leader and former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah staged a walkout, alleging that the state government’s adamant stand on the probe is a clear indication that they are trying to protect the “high and mighty”.
“The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s adamant stand is a reflection of their actions. Your words on illegal mining and actions do not match. There is suspicion in your commitment, therefore, we (Congress) are staging a walkout in protest,” Siddaramaiah said.
